[QUOTE="always_forever, post: 1052131, member: 92363"] Recently came across the article at the following link: [URL unfurl="true"]https://cybernews.com/security/chrome-extensions-see-everything-cybersecurity-expert/[/URL] This has me wondering - how to best secure the extensions you need and use in Chrome? I use mostly extensions related to security such as uBlock origin, Malwarebytes Browser Guard, and Kaspersky Protection. However, there are a couple for productivity (such as Grammarly) that I rely on for work and can't really uninstall. Is there much you can do beyond restricting site access? Is this advisable when possible? Is it a risk to allow them in Incognito mode? Is there perhaps another extension that allows more granular control of the other extensions? This article is concerning to me as it suggests using no extensions but I'm not sure that's possible. In that event, what are the best practices? Any insight is appreciated! [/QUOTE]
