Oh, browser extensions. And specifically on chromium browsers. Yeah, that makes much more sense than “any installed software”. It also throws out their claim of this being illegal. Using a browser API endpoint to say “hey do you have this extension” isn’t illegal, at least in most countries. Is this shitty behavior? Yes. Is this anywhere near what their clickbait title and honestly clickbait article claim? Not in the slightest.

Okay, so is there a browser plugin that can hide the plugins that I have installed?
