Is there a site like ‘cover your tracks’ for showing that websites can see what extensions I have (as opposed to other fingerprinting)? Thank you 🙃

This is actually a good point. It’s not just a proof of concept for one extension, either: it’s a proof of concept for a wide array of handpicked ones, and the script for it could easily be shrunken.

Ironic that Firefox protects your extensions better, considering Chrome Manifest V3 (the adblock killer) is locking down so much functionality.

I guess Google is too busy locking down the functionality that people want, than to lock down the functionality that would make people more secure.
