I installed this as a replacement for extension-log ( eiljhbjamiikjjldhnepillceohglbjh ) - which, as the author predicted, didn't make the transition. Couple of things I'd like to see: - a way to export the log to a text file (a constantly updated text-file (user-specified name/location) would be nice) - I don't delete logs, so having the delete function being easily available for a mis-click is concerning, I hope there's a confirmation dialog before actually performing the deletion (not tested). - It's a little hard to get the log up/displayed, it would be nice if it were available as an option/configurable on the left click display - And lastly, an option to display/log all your already existing, loaded extensions (so you know what you started with). Especially if you're running old, side-loaded extensions (version numbers). The suggestions from Extra Virgi & Mikhail are very good, as well. Sometimes we have to rebuild Chrome from the ground up, and this could help. Right now it's a tool, but needs lot of extra help to make useful.

Normally, browser extensions update silently without notifying the user. When Extension Update Monitor is installed, it actively informs users via a browser notification to what version an extension has been updated. Additionally, the extension has a log page that shows all extension updates, installations, and deletions. You can access this log by right-clicking the extension's icon and selecting "Open log page". To ensure accurate tracking, I recommend keeping this extension enabled at all times. The issue with the error message that another user described, I have yet to experience. It is a well-crafted extension and I appreciate the efforts of the developer to share it with us. Feature Request: In the log page, there is a column labeled "id". It would be fantastic if these IDs were made clickable, providing direct hyperlinks to the Chrome Web Store page for the corresponding extension. Keep up the great work!
