Good idea in principle but in practice there is literally no discussion taking place. I would have expected to see a list maintained of currently "rogue" Chrome extensions, followed by proof and research. However i found none of that. Shame, could be a great extension but seems to be left by the wayside

Excellent extension. Through it I discovered that the "imagus" extension is harvesting my browsing history, which is not necessary for it to work. Portuguese (Brazil) Excelente extensão. Através dela, descobri que a extensão “imagus” está colhendo os meus históricos de navegação, o que não é necessário para a mesma funcionar.
