Just wondering what is meant by "Weekly users" in Chrome Webstore? Is it the number of users who have clicked on the popup? Or does it also count if the users are just browsing while the Content Script is at work? What happens if an extension uses both content script and popup?
In 2021, there were an estimated 3.2 billion internet users worldwide using Chrome as their main browser.
The Google Admin Console makes it easy to push a Chrome extension out to all of your users, or all of your users in specific OUs (organizational units). You can decide to push an extension to every user and every OU, or exclude certain ones.
Show activity on this post. After going to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/ and clicking on a thumbnail (as seen here) : It will bring up the following screen: If you look closely in the middle, you will see that it says "408,501 users" - That is the number of installs.
Yes, it is possible to detect extensions, so long as you know your extension ID (which I'm sure you do).
According to Joe Marini (lead Developer relations for Chrome apps/extensions/CWS):
The number [of weekly users] you see in the Chrome Web Store is the amount of users whose Chrome browser has checked for an update of your app within the last week. It is not the number of people who have installed your item.
