Plugins

Control and manage your Chrome plugins
What is Plugins?
"Plugins" is a comprehensive Chrome extension that enables users to manage their browser plugins, extensions, themes, and permissions efficiently. It provides users with a simplified interface, accessible via a toolbar button or a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+E). The current version features a robust Plugins Manager, a Permission Scanner for reviewing extension permissions, and quick links for managing extension shortcuts, components, and global permissions. Designed for privacy, it does not collect user data and offers affiliate links for additional protection options.

When installed, it will add "Plugins" button to the toolbar.

Click the icon (or press Ctrl+Shift+E) and you'll open the "plugins" menu.

In the current version it includes:

🛡️ Permission Scanner -- a tool to check all permissions granted to all extensions and apps and easily see which plugins are using more sensitive permissions in simple table view

And it comes with few quick links to plugin/permissions related Chrome features: 🔗 "Keyboard Shortcuts" (so you can quickly manage extension shortcuts directly from the Plugins menu) 🔗 Shortcut to the "Components" page (which replaced the original plugins page some time ago)

$cam = stupidly tiny non resizable window, & adds a bunch of unrelated useless links 2 internal chrome features 2 confuse some poeple into thinking it is 'advanced', but it's infinitely worse than stuff like 'SimpleExtManager' ~> https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/simpleextmanager/kniehgiejgnnpgojkdhhjbgbllnfkfdk

Works great, however I only need the "Permission scanner" module. Could you release it separately?
