Detect enabled Chrome extensions to ensure a fair and secure Hive Smart Interviews assessment.
🧩 **Extension Detector — Secure Your Hive Smart Interviews Environment**
Hive Smart Interviews ensures **fair** and **distraction-free** coding assessments. However, certain Chrome extensions can interfere with the coding interface, provide shortcuts, or affect exam integrity.
**✨ Extension Detector** was built exclusively for **Hive Smart Interviews** to prevent such issues. It helps candidates and admins identify which Chrome extensions are currently enabled and alerts them if any might compromise the assessment environment.

- Can anyone explain to me why I should remove Dark Reader and bitwarden extensions to use this extension? It is frustrating to switch out extensions so that I can practice DSA. It adds a lot of unnecessary friction.
