It turns out Linkedin quitely scanning your browser extension when you open their website.
Some people said, "you just know about this, it is deh fingerprinting thing, it has been done ages ago". yea whatever doofs, the question now is since when this is ok?
The Attack: How it works
Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers. The entire process happens in the background. There is no consent dialog, no notification, no mention of it in LinkedIn’s privacy policy. This page documents exactly how the system works, with line references and code excerpts from LinkedIn’s production JavaScript bundle.
