CrossLike.club's extension ID is on LinkedIn's AED detection list (Nov 2026 snapshot), and LinkedIn's page code checks for CrossLike.club on every visit by requesting chrome-extension://dbkdogpegpenebbpncljhogmoaglkmgh/images/icon.png — a file that exists only if CrossLike.club is installed. Our automated scan of CrossLike.club 3.19.3 found code that references LinkedIn's session cookie li\_at (2 matches in 2 files); whether CrossLike.club sends that cookie anywhere needs a manual dataflow review. Updated November 14, 2026 · LinkedIn AED snapshot Nov 2026 ID: dbkdogpegpenebbpncljhogmoaglkmgh ## Does LinkedIn detect CrossLike.club? What we found in its code Detected by LinkedIn This browser extension is actively compiled into LinkedIn's frontend detection lists. LinkedIn's scripts can detect when this is active on your browser. LinkedIn requests: **chrome-extension://dbkdogpegpenebbpncljhogmoaglkmgh/images/icon.png** DETECTED **What this means:** detection isn't an instant ban — it's one input to LinkedIn's risk _score_. But it's a standing signal: it stacks with your behavior (volume, programmatic clicks) and device fingerprint, and this is just the AED list — one of LinkedIn's three detection systems ([see how it works](https://browsergate.eu/how-it-works/)). ### What our automated scan found in CrossLike.club's code We downloaded CrossLike.club version 3.19.3 from the Chrome Web Store on November 2, 2026 and searched its 1,385 code files for the patterns below. Each line shows the first place we found it. - CrossLike.club's code references `li_at` — LinkedIn's session cookie, the one that keeps you logged in. 2 matches in 2 files — first at background.js:183. - CrossLike.club's code references `JSESSIONID` — LinkedIn's CSRF cookie, needed to call LinkedIn's internal API as you. 2 matches in 2 files — first at background.js:183. - CrossLike.club uses the Chrome cookies API (`chrome.cookies`), which reads cookies of every site it has access to. 8 matches in 2 files — first at background.js:131. - CrossLike.club creates synthetic clicks or keystrokes (`dispatchEvent` / `MouseEvent`) — LinkedIn can tell these from real input (`isTrusted=false`). 4 matches in 2 files — first at worker-tab.js:695. - CrossLike.club makes its own network requests (`fetch` / XHR / WebSocket). 20 matches in 2 files — first at background.js:20. - CrossLike.club's code mentions linkedin.com. 42 matches in 5 files — first at background.js:49.

We haven't traced where CrossLike.club sends data. [How we test](https://safe-outreach.com/how-we-test) ### How LinkedIn checks for CrossLike.club: the AED probe That verdict isn't a guess. This is what LinkedIn's own page code does on every visit — simplified from its production bundle, which the [BrowserGate investigation](https://browsergate.eu/how-it-works/) reverse-engineered line by line: // LinkedIn's page bundle — simplified from BrowserGate's teardown const hits = \[\]; for (const { id, file } of AED\_LIST) // 4,934 ids incl. this one try { await fetch("chrome-extension://" + id + "/" + file); hits.push(id); } catch {} // not installed → silently swallowed fireTrackingPayload("AedEvent", { browserExtensionIds: hits }); // → POST /li/track // this extension is probed at: // chrome-extension://dbkdogpegpenebbpncljhogmoaglkmgh/images/icon.png On LinkedIn’s AED list Yes 1 of 4,934 · snapshot Nov 2026 URL LinkedIn requests chrome-extension://dbkdogpegpenebbpncljhogmoaglkmgh/images/icon.png the extension's ID + a file bundled inside it Store status Live on the Web Store Source LinkedIn bundle ℹ **Verify it yourself:** on linkedin.com open DevTools → Sources and search the page bundle for dbkdogpegpen… or AedEvent; or Network → filter li/track to watch the verdict ship. The scan runs even in Incognito. Below — the full code-level teardown. ![CrossLike.club — marketed on the Chrome Web Store, detected by LinkedIn](https://storage.googleapis.com/linkedhelper-sot/checker/shots/dbkdogpegpenebbpncljhogmoaglkmgh.webp) Vendor's own Chrome Web Store screenshot — this extension is on LinkedIn's detection list. ## How LinkedIn fingerprints your browser while you use CrossLike.club Even after a cookie is copied out, LinkedIn keeps one more receipt on every request that follows — a 48-point snapshot of the exact machine making it. Faking it convincingly means reproducing that machine's quirks, not just editing a string. Click any signal above for what it means. These are illustrative values — this demo never reads your actual device. Your 48-point fingerprint — RSA-encrypted, attached to every API call in this session, not just login This extension runs inside your real browser, so its requests always carry your real fingerprint — that isn't something it controls, it's simply where its code executes.
