How safe is that browser extension?

February 16, 2023

Browser extensions can significantly boost our efficiency and provide a personalized experience. However, the concern about using safe extensions remains.

Millions of users unknowingly installed malicious extensions threatening their privacy and security. Recent research by a cyber security firm found that over 4 million clients were targeted by adware in recent years.

Although adware does not cause harm to your computer, it can modify your homepage and search engine and redirect you to related pages for the benefit of the creators.

A more severe issue is the presence of malware that can steal sensitive information and login credentials. Therefore, it’s crucial to only download extensions from trustworthy sources and to have a system in place to monitor and control the extensions installed on your company’s browsers.
