In this work, we revisit some combinatorial and information-theoretic extension techniques for detecting non-algebraic matroids. These are the Dress-Lov\'asz and Ahlswede-K\"orner extension properties. We provide optimizations of these techniques to reduce their computational complexity, finding new non-algebraic matroids on 9 and 10 points. In addition, we use the Ahlswede-K\"orner extension property to find better lower bounds on the information ratio of secret sharing schemes for ports of non-algebraic matroids.
