RAID Expansion Comes To OpenZFS At Last
Updated Brave this week said it is blocking the installation of a popular Chrome extension called L.O.C. because it exposes users' Facebook data to potential theft.
"If a user is already logged into Facebook, installing this extension will automatically grant a third-party server access to some of the user's Facebook data," explained Francois Marier, a security engineer at Brave, in a GitHub Issues post. "The API used by the extension does not cause Facebook to show a permission prompt to the user before the application's access token is issued."
However, the developer of the extension, Loc Mai, told The Register that his extension is not harvesting information – as the extension's privacy policy states. The extension currently has around 700,000 users.
