Your browser extensions can see every password you type – MakeUseOf
Browser extensions enhance the functionality of the browser, and most of us have at least one third-party add-on installed. I always keep a handful of Chrome extensions installed for productivity, and some of them are ones I genuinely can’t browse without.
