Where can I see that websites can see my browser extensions? (lemmy.world)

Is there a site like 'cover your tracks' for showing that websites can see what extensions I have (as opposed to other fingerprinting)? Thank you 🙃

But there is no easy way to detect all extensions, instead most popular ones

It doesn't really matter if its easy or hard, I'm sure Google already has automated processes in-place to detect all extensions published to the store and fingerprint browsers. They might even have the same for Firefox extensions, who knows.
