Extensions Update Notifier: Chrome Updates Alert

"Extensions Update Notifier" is a Chrome extension that keeps you updated about your extensions. With Google Chrome automatically updating its extensions, it becomes challenging to pinpoint when any particular extension gets updated. With this extension installed, you receive notifications whenever an extension, active or disabled, is updated. It also provides access to changelogs if they're present in the Chrome Web Store description. You can control the notifications, close them automatically and even disable the extensions post-auto update.

User reviews

Не приходят уведомления. Может, оно вообще не работает. Когда подключалась, сразу пришло два. Теперь тишина. Подожду ещё пару дней и отключусь.

It's absurd Google still hasn't implementation notifications for extension updates. I often have issues, and 95% of the times it's because an extension broke something after an update. It takes a ton of time to investigate without knowing something was updated, though. This extension is a godsend. It already saved me a lot o time. And in general I simply WANT to know when something updates. Silent, forced updates are the worst thing ever.

How it is possible that in 2024 there is no better alternative to this ?
