01 / RESEARCH

Research the Chrome extension market before your next move.

Search any indexed Chrome extension by name, store URL, or ID. Analyze a competitor's current profile, listing history, version changes, and public growth signals before deciding where to compete.

Extension Lookup showing Extension Ranker's current profile and one-year user growth history

Live Extension Lookup interface captured from an active Extension Ranker workspace. Metrics reflect the selected extension at capture time.

THE DECISION

Analyze a competitor beyond today's store page.

Extension Lookup connects the current extension profile with the observations that came before it, so one interesting change can become the start of a useful investigation.

CURRENT STATE

What does this extension look like now?

Review users, rating, reviews, version, badges, locales, and store metadata from the latest indexed snapshot.

OBSERVED CHANGE

Which listing or release fields changed?

Follow version, title, description, and Featured-status differences detected between crawler observations.

GROWTH CONTEXT

What happened around the observation?

Compare available growth before and after an event without turning correlation into a causal claim.

PRODUCT FLOW

Find and analyze any indexed Chrome extension.

The workflow keeps the latest profile, historical metrics, and detected changes in one investigation path.

  1. 01

    Find the extension

    Search by name, paste a Chrome Web Store URL, or enter the 32-character extension ID.

  2. 02

    Confirm index coverage

    Open the latest profile and see which historical series are available for this extension.

  3. 03

    Inspect observed events

    Move from a point on the timeline to the version or listing difference recorded around it.

  4. 04

    Compare the surrounding trend

    Use available before-and-after growth context to decide whether the event deserves deeper research.

THE EVIDENCE

Put public Chrome Web Store data in historical context.

The useful unit is not a single scrape. It is the connection between current metadata, historical series, and the intervals in which a change was first observed.

LATEST SNAPSHOT

Current extension profile

Users, rating, reviews, version, badges, locales, last store update, and other indexed store fields.

TIME SERIES

Growth and reputation history

Collected user, rating, and review snapshots reveal direction while respecting the precision exposed by the source.

FIELD DIFFERENCES

Observed listing and version events

Adjacent observations reveal supported changes to version, title, description, and Featured status.

CONTEXT WINDOW

Growth around an event

Where coverage allows, compare the 30 days before and after an observation instead of judging one point alone.

HOW TO READ THIS

Treat each change date as an observation window.

History reflects periodic crawler snapshots. It can show that a supported field changed between two observations, not the exact edit time or the cause of later growth.

PRODUCT QUESTIONS

Understand the method before you trust the output.

Does “not indexed” mean the extension does not exist?

No. It only means Extension Ranker does not currently have the extension in its crawler index.

Which historical changes can I inspect?

Where snapshots support them, the profile can surface version, title, description, and Featured-status changes alongside users, ratings, and reviews.

Are the change dates exact?

Not always. A change is detected between crawler observations, so the product presents the observation interval instead of inventing an exact edit time.

Can I inspect an extension I do not own?

Yes. You can inspect any extension currently available in the crawler index without proving ownership.
