Re: Google has removed 49 cryptocurrency wallet browser extensions! Good move?
I mean, it should be pretty obvious that everyone here thinks that it's a good move..
- Noo, this is a violation of freedom of speech, you can't just remove 49 extensions from Chrome web store, people should learn to review every line of code themselves, they can't just rely on a centralized entity. Why won't you think of the hackers, they need to feed families too.
- Haha, chrome web store banhammer goes brrrr.
I thought at first you were serious about it and then when I read this - "Why won't you think of the hackers, they need to feed families too."
But really smart move from google. I bet the number will be more than these, but it is already a great start. It means, google is recognizing the reports or doing their job to protect their users from these scammers. I wonder how many wallets had been hacked by these 49 crypto wallet browser extensions. Hopefully, users will be more vigilant when using browser extensions. As much as possible, just limit your usage to known legit ones.
