# uninstallExtension

Uninstall a web extension that was installed with [`installExtension`](/docs/api/browser/installExtension.md).

Pass the extension id string that `installExtension` returned. There is no restore-function wrapper: the id is what you keep, and this command matches [`webExtension.uninstall`](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver-bidi/#command-webExtension-uninstall).
