I'm on mobile currently and apparently cannot look at reviews for Chrome extensions. Cookie Inspector is open source[0] according to the extension page, so you could try finding any adware-related code yourself, couldn't you?

- OJFord 9y agoChrome does nothing to guarantee that an extension is built from the source that it claims. You can verify that source, enable external sources in Chrome, ('developer mode' or somthing) and then install it - but that says nothing about what's on the Chrome store.
