This is really useful, although, as another commenter said, this should be a built-in feature.

A question I got regarding this extension, as I didn't take a deep dive into the source code yet: Does it automatically notify you (not necessary in real-time but at least in startup) of ownership change or you need to manually trigger a check command?

A few months ago, a story on this topic was trending: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36233068

From the top comment of the above story:

"I think it would behoove Firefox and Chrome to change their policies around automatic extension upgrades in these scenarios: if an extension discloses a change in ownership, then upgrades should require user approval. If an extension fails to disclose a change in ownership, then users should be able to report it as malicious."

As a side note, probably the title should be prefixed by "Show HN"
