Google has removed 49 cryptocurrency wallet browser extensions after a security researcher discovered they were stealing private keys. These Chrome extensions targeted users of crypto wallets, such as Ledger, Trezor.
What do you think of this move?
Web browser extensions are horrible! I used to have Chrome in my laptop few months back and installed few extensions a well. But after sometime I started getting notification by the internet security software that some extensions are trying to use my laptop resources to mine cryptocurrency. It was something called "pueminer.exe" or something similar to that. I don't remember exactly.
The moment I moved to firefox, life is good! It's great to see Google is taking measures to curb illegal activities finally!
