Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers.


@Vivaldi is this allowed in your browser? 👀

In LibreWolf it refuses to load unless cookies are enabled.
I just delete them before exiting.

I don't think removing cookies after the session prevent this type of unauthorized scanning... 🤔
