Recent reviews
Avira: Horrible practice. I installed Avira Antivirus to test it and without any warning nor asking consent I found 2 extensions added to chrome. Google: Horrible practice. After uninstalling this extension had to re-install it so I could leave a review because Google even if it tracks one's every move, is still incapable of tracking that the logged in user had that extension installed and just removed it.
