Is there a list of extensions that have been caught exfiltrating data?
I look at the 20 I've got installed and wonder which are using the "Access to every website" permission for their own ends.
- inglor 6y agoAs a maintainer of an extension with said permission I think it's important to acknowledge some extensions do need said permission. For example at the extension I help maintain (Testim Editor) we literally do test automation which requires elevated permissions.
- sergeykish 6y agoCaught extensions would be automatically disabled, right? Check Privacy Policy, if none exists it is either clear or non conformant. Extensions which states they collect data are not removed - for example Stylish, Web of Trust.
