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?
That’s a good thing. I used to think that they are not in support in cryptocurrency, but this shows that they are not against cryptocurrency users and would do anything possible to protect their users. Another thing we all have to know is that, Google will not be able to detect all of them at once. Even as they have dictated and removed these ones, others will still pop out from nowhere and try to do the same thing.
So, anyone that’s making use of these browsers should also be careful of which extensions they use, to avoid being robbed of their money and stuffs like that, or having to deal people that will steal your private information.
