Abstract: An extension manager can identify that a browser extension that is installed on a computing device is configured to modify the operation of a browser application. The extension manager can determine that the browser extension is a malicious browser extension based on a manner that the browser extension modifies content presented within the browser application. The extension manager can disable the browser extension in response to determining that the browser extension is a malicious browser extension and then initiate an uninstall process that uninstalls the extension manager from the computing device.
