    This is a cool idea!

    However, I have a number of reservations:

    1. Firstly, the JavaScript code in the release version of the extension is 12MiB. This is a lot of code, with much of it in a bundled form, making it very difficult (if not almost impossible) to verify them against the originals in the case of React, lodash, etc.

    2. It seems like the code uses an external API[0] to find the current owners of the installed extensions. While I appreciate that this may be one of the only ways to do it (since I imagine Google themselves would not appreciate an extension programmatically accessing the Chrome Web Store to find new developers) - and as far as I can see from the published code, it doesn't send any identifying data beyond what a normal Web request does, hence why I'm not identifying the site by name here - I would still urge caution as it might still cause alarm to someone examining their Web traffic and seeing a suspicious domain name, as the sort of person who would be interested in this extension is probably also the sort of person who would do that.
