What's inside
What the extension shows you
Store info

Installed apps
Detects ~100 popular Shopify apps from the page's script tags. Klaviyo, Yotpo, Judge.me, etc.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Why not publish to the Chrome Web Store?
Web Store review takes 2-7 days and has restrictions that would force us to add features we don't want (like analytics). Offline install is instant, fully private, and gives us total control. We may publish to the Web Store as "unlisted" later.
Is this safe to install?
Yes. The code is readable (it's not minified) and available at github.com/tubbylad/dropshiphunter/chrome-extension. You can inspect the manifest.json and see exactly which permissions it uses.
Why does Chrome warn about "developer mode extensions"?
Chrome shows that banner on every unpacked extension, regardless of what it does. It's not specific to this extension. The banner asks if you want to disable dev-mode extensions — click "Keep" or dismiss it.
Why doesn't traffic show for some stores?
Our traffic source tracks visits via browser-installed analytics in millions of browsers worldwide. Smaller stores (under ~5,000 monthly visitors) often don't have enough data to track reliably. It's a limit of the data source, not the extension.
Will this work on stores not using Shopify?
No — the extension is Shopify-specific. On non-Shopify stores (WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, custom) the panel will show "Visit any Shopify store". We may expand coverage if there's demand.
Does this replace the £199 DropshipHunter list?
No, they serve different purposes. The extension inspects stores you're already looking at. The list is a curated, pre-researched 250+ stores with traffic, revenue, niche, and bestsellers already mapped — you don't have to find them first. They complement each other.

250+ pre-researched dropshipping stores, sorted by niche + market + traffic + revenue. £199 at launch.
