Ugh, the #chrome #extension ecosystem is exactly as bad as I'd expect.

And the fact extension is still up claiming not to collect any data even if it has been called out in one of the biggest security newsletters shows how much Google care about this (not much). The only thing they care about is pretending to ship AI features to detect malicious extensions. Because that's how you get promoted.

I mean is it even possible to report a suspicious or bad extension? I don't see anywhere

Great research by @WPalant and @c0m4r

And @campuscodi for putting the spotlight on it.

i think it would be better if the whole thing would work correctly, especially rss-bot and github-bot, before luring more users to their doom. i've been trying to integrate the rss-bot for two days and it still doesn't work 😠

A new version of Weather O'Clock, a #GNOME Shell #extension that puts #weather inside the pill next to the clock, has been released

This version is the completion of what I wanted this extension to be. One day I would like to see something likes this upstreamed.

Linux life hack: say you have a page open in Firefox on your Linux machine and you want to view it on your phone (and you don’t have some fancy integration between the two)…

Instead of typing in the URL, get the FxQRL extension that shows you a QR code of the current tab’s URL and aim your phone’s camera at it.

Boom! :)
