Chrome Has a Malware Problem, and Google Needs to Fix It.
Google's Chrome browser has been praised for continuously upgrading its own security. Chrome OS, which is based on the browser, is one of the safest operating systems in widespread use. So, then, why is Google doing such a poor job of screening Chrome extensions?

At least half a dozen malicious Chrome extensions have been discovered in the past few months, most coming from the official Chrome Web Store. Some loaded adware and took users to sleazy websites. Others stole personal data or used victims' computers to "mine" cryptocurrencies. Somehow, they all got through Google's mostly automated screening process.
