Do you mean plugins such as Flash and Java? These can be enumerated with Javascript code in Gecko&#x2F;WebKit browsers[1]. AFAIK there&#x27;s also something similar for IE.<p>When it comes to extensions such as HTTPS Everywhere and AdBlock etc I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s supposed to be possible. Some extensions may unintentionally leak information that can be used to detect them though[2]. What are you trying to do?<p>[1] <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NavigatorPlugins.plugins" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;API&#x2F;NavigatorPl...</a> [2] <a href="http://ha.ckers.org/blog/20060823/detecting-firefox-extentions/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ha.ckers.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;20060823&#x2F;detecting-firefox-extentio...</a>
