Why the bought ones matter
An extension that changes hands keeps its name, icon, reviews and users. Chrome installs the new owner's update quietly, and nothing tells you that someone else is now behind it. People who had trusted these extensions for months got the malware without doing anything.
What to do if you have one
- Open chrome://extensions (or edge://extensions) and remove any extension from the lists below.
- If you used a crypto wallet in that browser, move your funds to a new wallet created on a clean device. Don't reuse the old recovery phrase.
- Change passwords you typed or saved in that browser, starting with email and banking, and turn on two-factor sign-in.
- Remove extensions you no longer use. Fewer extensions means fewer chances for this to happen again.

Each Chrome link opens the extension's checker page, which shows whether it is still in the store.

What this page can't see
A store listing doesn't show what an extension can access on your computer, and it can't warn you later. Extensions get sold, and the next silent update can change everything.
Extension Guardian watches the extensions you have installed and warns you when one changes owner, gains new permissions or disappears from the store. Free, open source, no account.
