Google Chrome will automatically warn you if an extension is malware, and I wish Microsoft Edge copied this new security feature.
. It all starts with Google Chrome 117. You’ll see warnings inside the browser to take action in three types of extensions-related scenarios:The extension has been taken down for violating Chrome Web Store policy.The last one is key here. You might see warnings like the one in the image above as soon as Google detects malware in extensions. That way, you’ll be able to act without reading reports about malicious activity in Chrome.
Once you press that “Review” button, you can delete the extensions from Chrome . And if it’s malware, you should remove them right away. The chances are you’ll find similar extensions from other developers. If your extensions qualify as malware, you’ll also want to explore the damage and protect your data/computer.That’s a great Chrome feature to have, one that I’d never want to use. It would be easy to remove the malicious malware, and I’d do it right away.
Since I’m on Edge, I’d love it if Microsoft copied this particular security feature. After all, Edge can run all Chrome extensions, and Microsoft will want to offer similar security features to its customers. Similarly, other Chromium-based internet browsers should take similar precautions against malware.
