Under New Management - Extension Ownership Alert

"Under New Management" is a Chrome extension that safeguards your web browsing by monitoring any turnovers in the ownership of your installed extensions.

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.

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. Cya.

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.
