How to detect Chrome extension uninstall

I am trying to detect whether my extension was uninstalled.

I can't use chrome.management.onUninstalled because it will be fired on other extension.

Solution

  • Google Chrome, unlike Firefox, doesn’t allow to detect when the user uninstalls the extension, which is quite useful to understand user behaviour. There is a feature request on crbug.com with a discussion of this feature but it has not been implemented yet.
