Apparatuses and methods for plug-in management

A plug-in management apparatus comprising:

• a processor-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions for plug-in management;
• a processor in communication with the storage medium, wherein when executing the set of instructions, the processor is directed to:
• detect a plug-in installed in an application program of a client device;
• determine an activation status of the plug-in;
• manage the plug-in based on at least one of:
• the activation status of the plug-in, an idle condition of the plug-in, an activation frequency of the plug-in, a quantity of a plurality of caches used by the plug-in, or a length of time that the plug-in has been activated;
• determine at least one of a score or an evaluation associated with an implementation result of the plug-in;
• send the least one of the score or the evaluation to a cloud server;
• and
• receive and display at least one of a total score or overall evaluation of the plug-in from the cloud server,
• wherein the total score is determined by the cloud server based on the score and scores of the plug-in sent from a plurality of other plug-in management apparatus, and the overall evaluation is determined by the cloud server based on the evaluation and evaluations of the plug-in sent from the plurality of other plug-in management apparatus.
