If you didn’t see it, answer to that is [Image search bringing me to Bing or Google? - #4 by Mattches](https://community.brave.app/t/image-search-bringing-me-to-bing-or-google/484407/4)

Yes, they are always weird names. You should see that if you go to Google Web Store and check for extensions. Like I navigated and then went to Google Translate. The link is [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-translate/aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-translate/aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb)

You notice the end part? `aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb` That’s what you’re seeing. It will show up like that regardless of what you look at.
