Z(achary) Yaro<p>I am going to keep <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@ChromeVoiceActions" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>ChromeVoiceActions</span></a></span> and my other extensions on MV2 and test them on older Chromebooks for as long as Google lets me, and when Chrome tries to disable them, you can go to chrome://extensions and manually re-enable them.

Yellow Flag<p>I meant to publish a rant about Google and Chrome Web Store for a while now, and now it is out: <a href="https://palant.info/2025/01/13/chrome-web-store-is-a-mess/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">palant.info/2025/01/13/chrome-</span><span class="invisible">web-store-is-a-mess/</span></a></p><p>This details many of Google’s shortcoming at keeping Chrome Web Store safe, with the conclusion: “for the end users the result is a huge (and rather dangerous) mess.”</p><p>I am explaining how Google handled (or rather didn’t handle for most part) my recent reports. How they make reporting problematic extensions extremely hard and then keep reporters in the dark about the state of these reports. How Google repeatedly chose to ignore their own policies and allowed shady, spammy and sometimes outright malicious extensions to prevail.</p><p>There is some text here on the completely meaningless “Featured” badge that is more likely to be awarded to malicious extensions than to legitimate ones. And how user reviews aren’t allowing informed decisions either because Google will allow even the most obvious fakes to remain.</p><p>I’ve also decided to publish a guest post by a researcher who wanted to remain anonymous: <a href="https://palant.info/2025/01/13/biscience-collecting-browsing-history-under-false-pretenses/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">palant.info/2025/01/13/biscien</span><span class="invisible">ce-collecting-browsing-history-under-false-pretenses/</span></a></p><p>This post provides more details on BIScience Ltd., another company selling browsing data of extension users. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@tuckner" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tuckner</span></a></span> and I wrote a bit about that one recently, but this has been going on since at least 2019 apparently. Google allows it as long as extension authors claim (not very convincingly) that this data collection is necessary for the extension’s functionality. It’s not that Google doesn’t have policies that would prohibit it, yet Google chooses not to enforce those.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>google</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cws</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ChromeExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChromeExtensions</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ChromeWebStore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChromeWebStore</span></a></p>

Yellow Flag<p>Back in October I asked here why searching for “Norton Password Manager” on Chrome Web Store brings up five completely unrelated extensions which all show up before the actual Norton Password Manager. Now I know the answer: some extension authors figured out how to use translations in order to mess with the search results. <a href="https://palant.info/2025/01/08/how-extensions-trick-cws-search/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">palant.info/2025/01/08/how-ext</span><span class="invisible">ensions-trick-cws-search/</span></a></p><p>I found 920 extensions using this approach. Most of them fall into a few large extension clusters that are spamming Chrome Web Store. For example, I could attribute 122 extensions to the Kodice / Karbon Project / BroCode cluster that I covered in June 2023 originally. Another 100 extensions belong to the PDF Toolbox cluster that originally appeared on my blog in May 2023. The ZingFront / ZingDeck / BigMData cluster is one I also researched back in 2023 but didn’t publish – 223 extensions.</p><p>There is also a cluster that was new to me and which I couldn’t really tie to a company name (apart from finding two red herrings). There seems to be a Ukrainian/Russian language part and a Farsi (?) language part here, and it’s hundreds of extensions despite only 55 of them qualifying for the list in this article.</p><p>Now that this is out, are you as excited as me to see what Google will do about this?</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>google</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cws</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ChromeExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChromeExtensions</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chrome</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ChromeWebStore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChromeWebStore</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/spam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spam</span></a></p>

OMG! Ubuntu!<p>We’ve Updated Our Chrome Extension — The Same But Betterer!</p><p>A new version of the OMG! Ubuntu extension for Google Chrome, Chromium, and other compatible web browsers is now available on the Chrome Web Store. Didn’t know we had a browser extension? That’s on me; I suck at self promotion. In fact, this seems to be the first blog post I’ve ever written about our browser bolt-on since we launched it back in 2013 — not that it’s been forgotten; we’ve updated it regularly since then! Our extension makes it easy to stay on top of the latest posts. If’s perfect for those who don’t use RSS and only follow :sys_more_orange:<br><a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Chromeextensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chromeextensions</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/SiteStuff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SiteStuff</span></a> </p><p>:sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/06/omgubuntu-chrome-extension-update" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/06/omgubu</span><span class="invisible">ntu-chrome-extension-update</span></a></p>
