MODERATORS
I can't help but notice how many extensions have some form of "(Chat)GPT" in the name.
Do you have coworkers/relatives/friends? They're using them.
As much as I shouldn't be at this point I'm always amazed at what shows up in the router logs at work, or when someone hands me their phone. People routinely hand me their phone then go to get coffee. They stay logged in to everything all the time. WiFi, Bluetooth always on everywhere.
Seriously? Link the extensions author!
Which "Reader Mode"? There are a billion, of which I used only 1.
Edit to be helpful vs just complain:
Extension list, including dates of detection/removal. It's larger than above and growing.
Great so now dumbass "cyber security" teams at businesses will insist on banning extensions
First they came for our Firefoxes, and no one said anything.
Then they came for our USB sticks
And now our Ublock Origins and Dark Mode Readers
Just wait till they see what happens when they ban you block origin. lol.
How to know if the extension have keylogger in it ?
Maybe it have "keylogger" in its name
'Keyboard History Recorder', they got real damn close.
Bunch of AI stuff on Chrome. Like you’re trying to pick the worst stuff you can.
