How often do you check your browser extensions? 👀
Microsoft has removed 119 malicious Edge extensions that had been downloaded around 2.6 million times - including tools posing as ad blockers, PDF tools, VPNs and translators.
Browser extensions can be useful, but they should be treated like any other software. Remove what you don’t use, check anything you don’t recognise and pay attention to the permissions they request.
