I just read up on "BrowserGate", where LinkedIn is secretly (and illegally) searching users' computers for installed Chrome extensions. So of course I had to create a simple example web page to demonstrate what they're doing.
It uses only client-side javascript and doesn't send your data anywhere: https://jasoncoon.github.io/chrome-ext-list

@jasoncoon @drajt I'm so glad I use Firefox (especially Firefox focus on my phone as primary browser, it seemed to do reasonably well in the browser fingerprint study I was part of. Hope they publish soon)

@sldrant @jasoncoon been using Firefox for years on the desktop as my primary browser and use an adblock browser on my phone. Will have to check Firefox for Android again...

@drajt @jasoncoon standard Firefox on android supports ad blockers. Firefox focusbis minimalistic, it has limited tabs, no history and clears all cookies often. That plus a resilience to fingerprinting makes it a great daily default
