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

This is a new for me and I am thankful that you mention this one. My friend once told me that some "free" browser extensions have privacy issues but I never realize that it can be also use to hack crypto address. Right now, I become so wary of extensions in my browser so I remove all of them and even clear all the data to restart my browser. It's better to be safe than sorry.
