It's now clear that I need some sort of semi-automated system to periodically review the list of installed extensions against a database of known-malicious IDs. I'm not going to manually go through a list of more than 100 extensions. We need something like HaveIBeenPwned, is there anything like that already?

- palant 3y agoNote: I am the author of this article. Yes, Chrome uses Safe Browsing to flag malicious extensions. But they seem to use it very sparingly for some reason.
