If you still have it installed

A listing leaving the store does not by itself remove the extension from browsers that already have it. If you still have it, you can see what it can reach and remove it in a minute:

1. Type chrome://extensions in the address bar and find the extension in the list.
2. Open its details. The site access setting shows where it can run; set it to run only on click and it reaches a page only after you press its icon.
3. To uninstall it, choose Remove on the same page.
