To remove these extensions, thankfully it’s as simple as heading to chrome://extensions in your address bar (or using the main menu and going to More Tools and then Extensions), and then clicking the Remove from Chrome trash can icon. It’s ridiculous that obvious scams like this are allowed to exist all over the internet.Īfter you make the mistake of clicking that Accept button and closing out the installer, a little while later you’ll be shown this window, which is automatically loading the Google Chrome extensions page and then clicking the install button for you.Īn unsuspecting user might make the mistake of clicking the Add button here. Somebody at CNET is responsible for this and they should be punished, fired, and then re-hired and fired again. Anybody that makes the mistake of clicking Accept all the way through the installer will end up with a much slower computer full of crapware and sadness. Warning: Your Browser Extensions Are Spying On YouĪnd downloading some freeware. Spyware and adware extensions do exist in the Chrome Web Store

KeePassXC is NOT KeePass so I would not necessarily expect KeePassXC-Browser to be compatible with KeePass.

Sadly they’ve found a way to trick users into installing lousy extensions, although in this case these KeePass 2.x comes with several features that 1.x does not include, such as shared database editing, enhanced high DPI support, GZip file compression, password entry history and two-channel. KeePassXC-Browser is an official add-on from the well-established KeePassXC project.

So that extensions can’t be side-loaded by crapware installers.
