You installed them to make life easier. But some browser extensions are doing a lot more than blocking ads or autofilling passwords.
They’re reading every keystroke. Tracking every site. Harvesting your data—and in some cases, handing it over to foreign governments or draining your crypto wallets.
In this video, we expose the chilling truth about browser extensions.
You'll see real-world cases of extensions that were hacked, sold, or designed from the start to exploit users.
And we’ll break down why just checking permissions isn’t enough—because malicious extensions often ask for the same permissions as the good ones. It’s not about what they ask for. It’s how they use it.
00:00 Extensions can do WHAT
00:52 Overview
01:34 The Problem with Browser Extensions
09:18 How Do We Protect Ourselves
10:52 Understand Permissions
16:03 Grant Fewer Permissions
16:18 Use Extensions Sparingly
17:10 Use a Private Browser
18:06 Least Privilege
18:28 Use Code Review Tools
19:07 In Summary
Extensions are more than just “add-ons.” They have access to everything you do online.
Before you install another one, watch this video.
