Okay, this one is a little alarming. Security researchers have been digging into Chrome extensions — those handy little add-ons we all install and then completely forget about — and what they found is not great news, according to SecurityWeek.
“More than 300 Chrome extensions were found to be leaking browser data, spying on users, or stealing user information. With more than 37 million combined downloads, the extensions expose users to tracking and personal information theft.”
Be careful out there — do your research before installing any extension, and audit what you already have.
