What is Under New Management?

"Under New Management" is a Chrome extension that safeguards your web browsing by monitoring any turnovers in the ownership of your installed extensions. It proactively performs checks to note changes in developer details from the Chrome Web Store. A red badge icon notifies you if an extension you rely on is under new management, enabling you to review and ensure it continues to be trustworthy and secure for your use.

Recent reviews

No longer seems to be working. The last extension update was in April and the latest notification was in August for me. I have a lot of extensions too.

Extremely useful extension. I recently started seeing some of my web traffic redirected, and Under New Management helped me identify the extension which had been sold and ruined. Would be five stars if it notified me when an extension changed owners rather than merely logging for me to find, but still absolutely worth installing.

I have only realised that you had to click on the extension to see if an extension had changed it's developer info. The thumbnail for this looks like you wait for a notification to pop up, showing the extensions name, icon and new owners. If I didn't know about how it truly worked now, I could've thought that I was totally fine when in the background an extension was taking my sessions away. Anyways, it's pretty good at tracking the info. Some false positives here and there, but overall 4 stars.
