Detects Open edX metadata
Looks for
<meta name="openedx-release-line" content="...">
on pages you visit.
Browser extension
Know when a site is running Open edX.
Open edX Detector checks the active page for the
openedx-release-line meta tag and shows the detected
release line from your browser toolbar.
What the extension does
The extension is intentionally small: it detects one Open edX signal, updates the toolbar icon, and shows the result in a simple popup.
Shows the release line
Displays the current domain and detected release line in the extension popup.
Changes the toolbar state
Uses the default icon when Open edX is not found and a green detected icon when the meta tag is present.
How it works
1
The content script scans the page
It checks the document for the
openedx-release-line meta tag after the page loads
and when matching head metadata changes.
2
The background script stores tab state
The detected result is kept in memory for the current browser tab so the toolbar and popup can show the right status.
3
The popup presents the result
Open the extension popup to see whether Open edX was detected and which release line was reported by the page.
Privacy first
Open edX Detector does not collect, sell, transmit, or persistently store personal data. Detection happens locally in your browser. Read the full privacy policy.
