Plugins

Control and manage your Chrome plugins

The Plugins Chrome extension offers a comprehensive control center for managing all your Chrome plugins including extensions, apps, and themes. With an easy-to-access toolbar button and keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+E), users can quickly open the Plugins menu to enable, disable, or remove any browser plugins.

It features a built-in Permission Scanner to audit all plugins and quickly identify those with sensitive permissions through a simple table view. Users also benefit from convenient shortcuts to Chrome's Keyboard Shortcuts page, Components page, global permissions, and content permissions specific to the current tab. Designed as a modern replacement for the retired Flash plugin button, Plugins aims to provide a secure and all-in-one plugin management experience without collecting user data. Future updates promise even more tools to enhance plugin security and management.

User reviews

Pros
  • Includes a Permission Scanner feature that is highly appreciated and considered top-notch by multiple users.
  • Helps users control and manage browser extensions and permissions effectively.
  • Useful for enabling and managing Flash content that otherwise does not work in Chrome.
  • Developer is transparent about including affiliate links within the extension.
  • Some users find it helpful for enabling Flash on specific sites by adding URLs through the 'Flash plugin on/off' option.
Cons
  • The extension tries to do too many things at once, leading to a confusing user experience for some.
  • The interface or window size is very small and non-resizable, which some users find inconvenient.
  • Includes unrelated or confusing links to internal Chrome features that can mislead or confuse users.
  • Some users report that Flash-related functions sometimes do not work consistently or the extension behaves unreliably.
  • Several users mention difficulties or the extension appearing corrupted, with repair attempts failing.

"Plugins" is an interesting extension because it tries to be many things. Managing your extensions, permissions, offering shortcuts to browser settings mixed in with some affiliate links (dev is transparent about that). Most of these features I don't need but the Permission Scanner is really top-notch! That should be an extension in its own right. Another reviewer stated the same. Thank you for making this extension available to us.

$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?
