Probably from JavaScript. See
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NavigatorPl...
and, from there,
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Plugin
. Your browser cannot hide extensions from that list because web sites might use it to decide whether to show you their plugin-based content.
