It's funny how the chrome store has skewed so far the opposite direction (kicking out extensions that claim they need http://* http://*), but any Android app can claim they're a http:// http:// handler.
- dleslie 6y agoThe Play Store is a disasterous shit show; I don't trust apps on it at all.

Sure Google could kick this dev butt and ask them to use a more focused intent filter but that's way less of an issue than an extension siphoning all your web browsing.
