What the extension watches for

Extensions get sold, and Chrome installs the new owner's update without asking. Extension Guardian notices.

A new owner

Warns you when the developer on the store listing changes, the most common sign of a sale.

New permissions

Tells you when an update asks for more, like reading every website you visit.

Pulled from the store

Google removes malware. If one you have disappears, you hear about it the same day.

Newsletters hide a tiny image that tells the sender when you open their email. Unseen blocks it in Gmail, with no access to any other site. Add to Chrome · Learn more →
