These 5 Google Chrome extensions are stealing your data, uninstall them now

Google Chrome extensions can improve your chrome browsing experience but over the years many malicious extensions have mushroomed. A latest McAfee report highlights 5 Google Chrome extensions that could steal your data and are a big threat to your privacy. Worst is that these extensions have an install base of more than 1,400,000 meaning many Chrome users are unknowingly using these infected extensions.

The report says that while these extensions offer various functions such as enabling users to watch Netflix shows together, website coupons, and taking screenshots of a website, they also track users’ browsing activity by sending the page URL to a remote server every time a website is visited by the user.
