Before the Cambridge Analytica scandal in early 2018 you was able to lookup the Facebook account linked to an email address depending on the privacy settings. This was a very useful and popular research method within the OSINT community, law enforcement and your average stalker. This Chrome Extension brings back that ability.
To use this chrome extension it requires you to be logged into a Facebook account, once logged in and while that page is active only will the extension work. This is due to the request that’s made to the website requiring a valid token/session.
Simply provide an email address which is of interest to you and click Search
. If a match is
found the profile id
will be returned as well as the profile image if one exists.
I always recommend using a second account, one which you would’nt be bothered about loosing, when using tools/methods like these.

Important
I do obfuscate my source code within the chrome extensions i develop. Because of this some anti virus software and/or windows defender may alert them to being a possible trojan.
