		bitbasher 5 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: LinkedIn checks for 2953 browser extensions The list of extensions being scanned for are pretty clear and obvious. What is really interesting to me are the extensions _not_ being scanned for that should be. The big one that comes to mind is "Contact Out" which is scan-able, but LinkedIn seems to pretend like it doesn't exist? Smells like a deal happened behind the scenes... https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/email-finder-by-con...

That extension cannot be fingerprinted by its content-accessible resources. It doesn't declare any in its manifest.
