Extension log

Logs when an extension is installed, uninstalled, upgraded, enabled or disabled. Also keeps track of each chrome update.
What is Extension log?
'Extension Log' is a detailed Chrome extension that logs every possible event related to your browser extensions. This includes installation, uninstallation, upgrades and whether the extension has been enabled or disabled. In addition, it also keeps an eye on every single update to the Chrome browser itself. The logged data can be viewed in a neatly arranged table sorted by name, extension type, or id. Additionally, it allows you to save the entire log history and the extension packages in original or zip format for future use.

Extension summary

Keep track of all your old extensions, as well as current and past states of the extensions still installed. "Extension log" logs when an extension is installed, uninstalled, upgraded, enabled or disabled.

View all these informations in a table sorted by name, state (enabled, disabled, uninstalled), extension type, or id. With a list of events associated with each extension ever installed (as long as "Extension log" is always enabled).

Aside from its main purpose, "Extension log" records a log of the date and version of every chrome update.

You can save the whole log history, in case of crash. Right click the extension icon and select "Export log" (save the whole page or one of the textareas). No restore function available yet, but you can access the stored values manually from the background page's javascript console (and update from there if necessary).

EL allows you to save extensions packages in its original format or as a zip file.

2018-12-31: (0.5.6) Badge used to warn user when an event occurs: now fully functional. You can now import options, and chrome version history from a backup. Import of events is still in beta.

This extension is essential for managing a large number of installed extensions. Its simplicity and clear overview make it easy to use, and its lightweight design is a big plus. I highly recommend it! Feature request: With Manifest V2 being deprecated soon, this extension might stop working. Any chance it will be updated to support Manifest V3? It would be greatly appreciated!
