Chrome extension id - how to find it

Question

How can I find out what the chrome extension id is for an extension?

Answer 1

You get an extension ID when you upload your extension to Google Web Store. Ie. Adblock has URL https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb and the last part of this URL is its extension ID cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb.

If you wish to read installed extension IDs from your extension, check out the managment module. chrome.management.getAll allows to fetch information about all installed extensions.
