Hol up louis.. You mean Google, the company that is shoving AI down everyone's throat, can't bother to use their own shit-as-a-service to do code review on the google app store?!?!?! Inconceivable!
Spyware in the Chrome browser?? That's not fair, only Google should be able to do that.
"protect" the corportations from dislikes and adblockers. that's why v3 was implemented
Thanks for taking the time to call! Let's hope we can get the Chrome Web Store team to enforce their policy.
So, google can afford to put their garbage AI overview on every goddamn search but can't get AI to automatically code review and flag a security team when an extension is detected to be malicious or misleading.
The developer "declares" basically means nothing. It has no teeth.
I love passionate researchers so much, they deserve so much more credit for their work and integrity. Great job, James!
We should just start calling this what it is “a ransom on your data” which is illegal
Stylish has been in the data privacy crosshairs for about 5 years now. i am surprised it took this long for a report to come out about it.
what you mean? they are a match made in heaven for Chrome!
Who still uses chrome? Without adblock it has become unusable.
I think the cat should host an episode.
Once again the company who's one job is "don't be evil" shows us how evil they really are.
You should create a blacklist of companies you’ve covered on your channel so far, so the Clippy army can keep track of the companies we should avoid
List is in video description and at 10:05
Louis Rossmann is a great inspiration.
Delete chrome and you won't have to delete the extensions... Chrome is stealing EVERYTHING. Better yet, delete Google
I think it's time we start naming (human) names. Nearly everything is such-and-such COMPANY did this or that...but there are PEOPLE behind these companies. In addition to naming and shaming a company, we should start tracking who the humans are behind this. Humans tend to go on to do other things, move to other companies, etc. If we start keeping track of who the good guys are and who the bad guys are, it should be easier to determine what kind of company or product is being produced.
Worth mentioning that Chrome has functionality for only enabling extensions on specific websites, or only enabling an extension on a site after clicking the extension. You should be using this functionality so extensions arent just enabled across all sites.
It’s crazy the amount of junk you avoid by being on Firefox
