These are just functionality you don't want which they also say they do, nothing seems to be wrong with the addons themselves... I could say the both for a bee theme on the marketplace and put it in cursed if that's really the reason
No they dont offer functionality I dont want. Security? Privacy? Of course! They do false promises and trick users that... you know have an Antivirus program on their system.
How do these extensions do that? I’m not sure what you mean, I tried it and later uninstalled it a few days ago and saw nothing wrong… The open in edge extension literally just adds the edge protocol in front of the link
Haha I guess the open in edge addon has nothing wrong in its code.
