Google is testing a feature that will warn you if an extension you installed has been removed from its Chrome Web Store.
the new security feature would warn you about extensions that have been removed from the Chrome Web Store
Google is apparently planning to roll out the new feature in Chrome 117, but it can be tested in Chrome 116 if you enable its Extensions Module in Safety Check feature. To do so, paste
chrome://flags/#safety-check-extensions’

Once the new tool is enabled, it will appear in Chrome’s settings under the Privacy and Security section. Under a “Safety check” heading, Chrome will prompt you to review any extensions that have been removed from its store.
Clicking the prompt will take you to a page listing the extensions in question. Helpfully, it will also explain why each extension was removed, including whether they contain malware
