Made a quick tool so you can check if your extensions are on the list: https://extensioncheck.val.run

1. Go to chrome://extensions and toggle Developer mode on (so IDs are visible)

2. Select all text on the page with your mouse and copy

3. Paste it into the tool

It parses the IDs and warns you if any are among the 287 spyware extensions.

Nothing happens when I click `Scan`.
Whoops, developer mode needs to be toggled on. Just updated the instructions
Still nothing seems to happen when I click "Scan". Does that mean that none of the extension IDs provided are on the list?
