Its been a long time since ive knew that browser extensions are bad news and in fact they should consider red flags, you can easily get viruses on your pc or even spyware but the latest news about these so called browser extensions is they can be used to steal your coins, consider this a warning for those who use chrome and mozilla firefox browser extensions regularly. I came across the warning while surfing the internet today.

Sorry i couldn't drop link to the full news because i got the warning news from pivot news which would require you to download app before reading any news, share this warning with friends and crypto fans especially newbies
My guess, they cannot if you encrypt the wallet? Or they can do it even with an encrypted wallet?
They can do even you are using the encrypted wallet. Remember about the browser extension is not about phishing and it can contain a virus-like trojan that can hijack your computer and steal all of your data silently.
The browser developer is not putting strict verification to verify the credibility of such extension and this is the problem.
So many cases about the encrypted wallet got stolen.
