Any chance a future Version will show the version of the JavaScript frameworks / CMS used ?

Great tool, this!
The only downside is that passpack.com has this protection that warns about javascript being injected into the page. And the warning pops up every time, because of Chrome Sniffer. Could it be made to exclude certain sites/domains?

Submitted by noscript merger (not verified) on
i think your detection code could be useful for the GNU project to extend the noscript plugin to detect non-trivial javascript code:

maybe you want to share your work with them?

This extension makes Chrome
Submitted by Tatsh (not verified) on
This extension makes Chrome fail the Acid3 test (98/100). Nice Drupal site. I use Drupal for just about everything where appropriate.
I just found this extension
Submitted by Dan M. (not verified) on
I just found this extension and I love it :)
It's nice to keep an eye out for what lurks on the internet.
One of the Acid3 tests tries to remove the last child of body.
The extension injects a script tag as the last child, so it breaks the test.
The simplest solution is to open the inject.js file (located in the extension folder: homgc... ), and change it such that it injects the script into head instead (last line in the file).
Close and reopen Chrome (or go to extensions page and disable & enable the extension to reload it).
Now the Chrome passes the Acid3 test.
As far as the extension goes I don't see any apparent bugs, but this fix should be confirmed by the author.
I don't know why the script is inserted into body and not head, as it is already set in the manifest to run at document_end, so the DOM is fully loaded by the time it is executed. Perhaps Bao can tell us more
Hope it helps...

This is a very useful tool. I don't know how many times I have been on a webmaster board and someone has ask the question what software is this site running.
This app will answer the majority of those questions. I won't only answer the question for folks now but I will point them to this great tool which should help move more folks over to chrome.
Good Job

I know not explicitly a framework/CMS but would be good if it could detect media queries for responsive sites so I don't have to resize my browser manually every time I visit a new site!

Nice, but it tells me most sites are using a humans.txt even when they're not. It tells me my own site has the same, and I know for a fact that it doesn't have that, nor is there a humans.txt anywhere in the page source.

Submitted by tarek (not verified) on
Love your Chrome extension, but I noticed that it returns some false CMS, libraries and Frameworks sometimes. For example, on my own website (www.technotarek.com), it shows that the site is using ModX. It is not.
What is making it think I'm using ModX?
Just thought I'd let you know. Thank your for contributing this great extension.
