Hijack your search results

Google検索結果で、一部のサイト(例えばMicrosoftコミュニティとか)へのリンクになんか変なリダイレクトが挟まります。 いつからか挟まるようになって広告ブロッカーがいちいち警告してくるようになり、何だろうなとは思いつつもぶっちゃけ深く考えずに放置してしまっていたのですが…、もしかして何かの拡張機能が勝手にそういう不正な処理をしているのではないかと思って拡張機能を一つずつ無効化しながら調べたところ、まさにこの "Color by Fardos - Color Picker" が犯人でした。 この拡張機能は、検索結果ページの一部を謎のリダイレクトリンクで置換する怪しいものです。 もしかしたらユーザーに何らかの同意を求める処理を経た上でそのような処理をしているのかもしれませんが、Color Pickerという名前の拡張機能に対して一体誰がGoogle検索をフィッシングリンク集にする機能を期待するでしょうか? 英語レビューを見てみると本件は既に発覚しているようで、批判の声が数多く寄せられています。 ウェブストアでは依然として「おすすめ」バッジが掲示されていますが、公式サイトは既に消滅しておりアクセス不能です。 既にお使いの方は無効化や削除を強く推奨します。とりあえず私は消します。

Hijacks your search results and stops you being able to click through to results from redirects and marketing sites.
