Browser extensions turn browsers into website-scraping bots

List of affected extensions at Extensions using Mellowtel - Google Drive

Don’t have single one of them installed. Never used these extension, i knew extention could be a possible security threat since how much permission they have.

Looks like someone needs to make another extension which scans and checks whether or not any of these infected extensions are installed or not.

When extensions asks for permissions, it scares me.

looking at those extensions, I guess they targeted their audience.
