Vlad Based on rudimentary assessment of the extension, the code is making an api call to https://api.extensionboost.com/v1/developer?extension_ids={extension ids}
and then comparing the values received with those received earlier to detect change of ownership.
Example, for chrome uBO extension
https://api.extensionboost.com/v1/developer?extension_ids=cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm
{"ignored_extension_ids":[],"matched_extension_data":[{"developer_email":"ubo@raymondhill.net",
"developer_name":null,"developer_website":null,"extension_id":"cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm",
"extension_name":"uBlock Origin","offered_by_name":"Raymond Hill (gorhill)"}],
"unmatched_extension_ids":[]}
While the extension is doing this every 60 minutes, Orion, if it adds support for it, can execute the code only when the extension updates to avoid uncessary api calls.
