Can Push detect other installed browser extensions?

Yes. When configured to do so, the Push extension can observe installed browser extensions in your environment and produce an inventory.

Push can observe installed extensions for the following browsers:

  • Google Chrome

  • Microsoft Edge

  • Firefox

  • Brave

  • Opera

  • Arc

  • Island

Note: Safari does not support this Push feature.

To enable browser extension visibility, go to Settings > Organization > Browser extension visibility in the Push admin console.

Once this feature is enabled, Push will collect the following data about installed extensions:

  • Extension name

  • Extension ID

  • Version number

  • Update URL (Note: This data type is not supported in Firefox.)

  • Homepage URL

  • Extension permissions

  • Host permissions (where applicable)

  • Deployment method (managed, manual, sideloaded or development)

  • Which employees use the extension

  • Which browsers have the extension installed

  • Whether the extension is enabled or disabled

To view the extensions observed in your environment, go to Investigate > Browser extensions in the admin console.

Extension enumeration - KB 10138

From there, you can also filter by extension ID, browser ID, browser profile and synchronization status, permissions, deployment method, and other characteristics.

Push will query the extensions installed across your environment to produce an instant inventory, and also check over time for new extensions that are installed or uninstalled, or enabled or disabled. You can choose to receive this information via webhooks, if you prefer.
