Extensions Update Notifier Extension

Google Chrome Extensions are auto-updated.
This is cool, no doubt about it, but how do you know when an extension is updated?

You don't until you install this extension.

▸ You will receive a notification when an extension is updated.
▸ If the updated extension has a log of records in its Chrome Web Store description, you can view it directly from the extension.
▸ And unlike other extensions, it also works with disabled extensions.

If you also think Google Chrome should provide an option to toggle extensions updates notifications, go star this issue at http://crbug.com/28556

Noor Aldeen (ID: 00000037f9353b34) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/22/2022 I have some advice for those who did not work with this extension .. At first, thank you very much to the developer because this extension is really the best in terms of the feature you have .. I would like to say that this extension no longer works for me a long time ago on the Edge browser, but I resorted to that I downloaded Version 2.3.1 of crx4chrome.com and install the extension in developer mode with less features but it works .. Or you can install the extension that is called NooBoss It has the same feature but the extension image is not displayed only the name .. Also an extension but does not display notifications but appears The updated additions are at the top of the list.. I hope someone has benefited from my comment.. Thank you from my comment.. Thank you ................................................................................................................................................... عندي بعض النصائح لمن لم تعمل معه هذه الإضافة .. في البداية شكراً جزيلاً للمطور لأن هذه الإضافة فعلاً هي الأفضل من ناحية الخاصية التي تمتلكها .. أود أن أقول أن هذه الإضافة لم تعد تعمل عندي منذ زمن على متصفح Edge ولكن لجأت إلى أنني قمت بتحميل الإصدار 2.3.1 من موقع crx4chrome.com وتثبيت الإضافة في وضع المطور بخصائص أقل ولكنها تعمل .. أو يمكنك تثبيت الإضافة الذي بإسم NooBoss يوجد به نفس الخاصية ولكن لا يتم عرض صورة الإضافة فقط الإسم .. أيضاً إضافة ولكن لا يقوم بعرض الإشعارات وإنما تظهر الإضافات المحدثة في أعلى القائمة .. أتمنى أن يكون أحد إستفاد من تعليقي .. وشكراً

MK Terra (ID: 000000dceffa9b6b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/19/2021 The extension still works fine on my end. The changelog-viewing feature requests an extra site permission though, which you can allow or deny.
