| 2024-10-02 |  | | en | 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. |
| 2024-07-31 |  | | en | 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. |
| 2024-07-11 | | | en | I've been using this extension for a while, and now it's not working. I think it stopped working on June 25, 2024. Before then, it was working fine. The actual extension itself hasn't been updated since April 5, 2024 (version 0.1.3). |
| 2024-06-19 |  | | en | 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. |
| 2024-05-21 |  | | en | This is also available for Firefox. (Heard of it on "Security Now" podcast too) |
| 2024-05-15 |  | | en | Like many others, heard about this on the excellent Security Now podcast. This is an extension that has been sorely needed for a long time to combat extensions being sold to new owners who may use them to do dubious things. |
| 2024-04-02 |  | | en | Couldn't be simpler. It literally gives you a before-and-after list of extension changes. Totally recommended. |
| 2024-03-25 |  | | en | Also heard about this on Security Now. So glad to have this nagging-in-the-back-or-my-head issue resolved! |
