It's a useful plugin but unfortunately it will be removed soon. I found another very useful Check My Links plugin which is super advance, leaving the link below for your reference. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/check-my-links/aajoalonednamcpodaeocebfgldhcpbe

A really great extension, been using it for years now. But why does Chrome has a problem with it? It says it will no longer be supported.

Used this for years as a developer has saved me heaps of time isolated broken links and the extra status code info can come in handy as do the options in the settings. Love the highlighting - no mistaking what is and isn't broken - something you'd take for granted but having tried out several others that fail in that aspect very grateful this one does as expected!
