The decision to block the installation of Chrome extensions from third-party sites curtailed the number of malicious extensions, but not enough.ĭevelopers of malicious Chrome extensions simply shifted to using new tactics for tricking users into installing malicious extensions. These new rules come after last year, Google banned the installation of Chrome extensions via third-party sites (called inline installs) and limited the installation process to users visiting the extension's official Chrome Web Store page only. The browser maker listed new rules yesterday that extension developers must follow, or face the possibility of having their extension removed from the official Chrome Web Store.
Google is cracking down again on deceptive Chrome extension installation practices.
