Google Chrome Extensions Can be Used to Track You Online

Hello guys, namaste ! Good morning !
I am Vipin Bansal and welcome to the caffeine code.

whenever you install a browser extension on google chrome.it can be used to construct fingerprints. these fingerprints stores information of your device. which is called tracking hashes.
these hashes are used to track user's web activity.
to proof that concept a web developer compay Z0CCC develops a website, where you can see all installed extensions in your device.

this is link of that website.
