Malicious extensions circumvent Google's remote code ban(palant.info) As noted last week I consider it highly problematic that Google for a long time allowed extensions to run code they downloaded from some web server, an approach that Mozilla prohibited long before Google even introduced extensions to their browser. For years this has been an easy way for malicious extensions to hide their functionality. When Google finally changed their mind, it wasn’t in form of a policy but rather a technical change introduced with Manifest V3.
