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.

Browser extensions can help scammers steal your crypto Casa CEO Jeremy Welch warned the audience at the Baltic Honeybadger conference in Riga this weekend.

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

Browser extension are known to cause more harm from the start. Many malicious extensions cause different harms but we can't actually live without any extension.
It would be wise to browse safe and keep as minimum number of extension as possible. Malwarebytes does a good job in checking extensions.
Creating a good block list in your host files can save you from many malware inducing websites.
