We always see browser extensions as something useful that can help whenever we browse the Internet. The truth is that they can be a source of problems and the gateway to malware and other forms of data theft on computers.
With constant evaluations, Google searches for these extensions and removes them from its store, to keep users safe. This is information that until now was not passed on to users. This will change and in the Canary version, with a new way to alert who uses the Chrome.
BUT: Google Chrome will let you convert images from PDFs to text
than it was revealed by Google itself, starting with Chrome 117, the browser will highlight when an extension is no longer in the Chrome Web Store. This is limited to three specific cases: The extension has been removed, extension has been removed for violating store policy ou the item has been marked as malware.
If an issue is resolved, the notification will automatically clear. This will not display for an extension when the developer has been notified of a potential violation and has had time to resolve the issue or appeal.
When a user clicks “Review”, they will be taken to their extensions and given the option to remove the extension or hide the warning if they want to keep the extension installed. As with previous versions of Chrome, extensions marked as malware are automatically disabled.
Being an option that gives the user essential information about installed extensions, this should be standard in this field. Google's Chrome thus shows other browsers how this topic should be treated, serving as an example for what they should create and implement.
