Yeah free VPN is totally a problem, but there's TLS so at least those users aren't getting their bank account information stolen.
Does tls means certificate pinning ? Can't a vpn alter dns queries to return a proxy website to your bank, using a forged certificate ?
What is the economic value of all these AI chat logs? I can see it useful for developing advertising profile. But I wonder if it's also just sold as training data for people try to build their own models?
Google needs to act on removing these extensions/doing more thorough code reviews. Reputability is everything, and they can be actually valuable (e.g. LastPass, my own extension Ward) There has to be a better system. Maybe a public extension safety directory?
I don't understand why so many people are using / trusting VPNs "Let us handle all your internet traffic.. you can trust us.. we're free!" No thank you.

Oh, a free of cost vpn extension that requires access to all sites and data is somehow spyware, color me surprised. With those extensions the user's data and internet are the product, most if not all are also selling residential IP access for scrapers, bots, etc. Good thing Google is protecting users by taking down such harmful extensions as ublock origin instead.

I think we need both human review and for somebody to create an antivirus engine for code that's on par with the heuristics of good AV programs.
You could probably do even better than that since you could actually execute the code, whole or piecewise, with debugging, tracing, coverage testing, fuzzing and so on.
