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?
It's a pretty good move to be honest. It really shows a sign that google cares about cryptocurrency and its users even though they themselves tried to ban it. I just hope they just don't go haywire again and try to ban this time legit extension wallets like Meta Mask.
and they are more concern about their reputation because it is being damage as they are being use as search engine so when people becomes victim they at some point has a regret for using Google.
I have not seen the article to know in detail how things happened. But it is a good decision to remove malicious extensions. When I first read OP. I was alarmed thinking that the MetaMask extension might be included. But happily not so.
I love MetaMask!
i think the essence itself is enough to know that google are now doing their part to stop these bad elements to help people and their site have a safer surfing experiences.
