modcore Inspect

Getting Started

When you first open Inspect, you'll see an introduction screen explaining the feature. Click Start Scan to begin your first analysis. The scan typically completes within seconds, examining all your installed extensions against the current database.

After the initial scan, Inspect remembers your results and displays them immediately when you return - provided the data is less than 24 hours old. After that window expires, you'll need to run a fresh scan to get current results.

Understanding Your Scan Results

Inspect organizes findings into clear categories:

Conflicting Extensions are groups of two or more active extensions that interfere with each other. Common examples include multiple ad blockers, overlapping privacy tools, or extensions that modify the same website elements. Each conflict shows:

• The specific group name (like "Ad Blockers" or "VPN Extensions")

• A description of why these extensions conflict

• The risk level (Critical, High, Medium, or Low)

• A recommended action explaining which to keep or how to resolve the conflict

• Every conflicting extension in the group with version and ID information

Deprecated or Risky Extensions are individual extensions flagged for security or maintenance concerns. These might be abandoned by their developers, removed from the Chrome Web Store, or have known vulnerabilities. Each entry includes:

• The specific reason for the flag (outdated, unmaintained, security risk, etc.)

• The security risk level

• Recommended alternatives when available - direct links to safer extensions that provide similar functionality

Ignored Extensions appear in a separate section showing extensions you've chosen to exclude from future scans. This is useful for advanced users who understand a particular conflict but want to keep the extensions anyway.

Taking Action on Issues

For every problematic extension, you have several options:

Disable immediately turns off an extension without uninstalling it. This is the fastest way to resolve conflicts - Inspect keeps the first extension in each conflict group active and offers to disable the others.

Ignore removes an extension from future scan results. Use this when you understand a warning but choose to accept the risk anyway. Ignored extensions move to their own section and won't appear in conflict or deprecated lists again unless you un-ignore them.

Details opens the extension's Chrome settings page for deeper investigation - viewing permissions, site access, or uninstalling completely.

Fix All is a powerful one-click solution that appears when you have multiple issues. It automatically disables all conflicting extensions except the first in each group, and disables all deprecated extensions. Inspect shows you a summary of exactly what will be changed before confirming, and you can always re-enable extensions manually later if needed.
