Which Chrome extensions are dying, and what to install instead

We check Chrome Web Store listings ourselves and keep what we find. Right now we are tracking 67,225 extensions, of which 2,418 apps and other non-theme listings still declare Manifest V2 — a platform current Chrome will not load. None of them is an extension.

Look up an extension by its store URL or ID on the check page, or start with one of the lists below.

The lists

Extensions no longer in the store Confirmed gone by two independent checks, with what we recorded before they went.
Extensions nobody is maintaining Still listed and still working, but untouched for years.

How this works

Everything here is read from the Chrome Web Store by our own crawler and stored with the response it came from, so any figure on any page can be traced back to what the store actually said on a given day. We publish the scoring method and the sources in full, and every extension page has a free JSON version.

We do not review extensions and we do not rank them by quality. The question this site answers is narrower and more answerable: is it still there, does it still work, what can it read, and what would you install instead.
