Under New Management, created by Matt Frisbie, is an extension for Chrome that detects when your installed extensions have changed owners. It intermittently checks the Chrome Web Store for any changes in developer information and alerts users with a red badge if a change is detected. This is important because extension developers are often approached with offers to buy their extensions, leading to potential issues for existing users. By notifying users of ownership changes, Under New Management gives them the opportunity to make informed decisions about the software they’re using. The extension uses Parcel, React, Typescript, and TailwindCSS for development and relies on the ExBoost API server for checking developer information due to browser restrictions.
