[QUOTE="always_forever, post: 1052249, member: 92363"] Thanks for the insightful response including best practices. I do these things and am in a position where I have to use some extensions. Do you think the article is overstating the threat? It seems particularly concerning that they can steal login credentials and potentially access local files. Beyond the practices above, can you think of any steps one might take to mitigate such risks with extensions? I do have AV and use Voodoo Shield as well as Hard Configurator. Not sure what else I can do beyond making sure Chrome and the extensions are updated. Any further thoughts are appreciated! [/QUOTE]
