This is why whenever a browsers asks me if I want to save my password I alway click no. I have played flightsim for a while. But luckily never bought any addons for it.

I have always hated that Chrome and other browsers store your website passwords completely unprotected and viewable to any one who goes into the setting of that browser. Now I hear this.
I am glad I store any sensitive passwords and accounts in a password manager. Even though I don't use pirated software, I had when I was younger and had no way to afford some applications that I needed.
I think this is complete over stepping and something needs to be done NOW! Just like with the investigation of Net Neutrality. This shit is getting crazy. We shouldnt have to worry about this kind of thing.

If you've set a master password the passwords are stored encrypted. At least Firefox handles that quite well.

Chrome has been a good browser for me but I'm glad I'm getting this information

Disturbing the amount of lengths these companies are going. And for what? The more you piss off and challenge these kinds of communities the more effort they will put into cracking digital products and releasing it that are produced by that company.

We just got wait for some politician kid to be effect by this that cross over into national security. Then there will be heads to roll over. Till then I doubt much will happen it will be business as usual.

Yes it is illegal to invade someones personal computer without notice because they use that medium to steal vital informations.

Thank goodness I keep my stuff encrypted. Also people still use Chrome? =\ Wait people still use Google products at all that are neon haired toxic adult babies?

I'll stick with being in the Linux master race for now.

extraordinary & exceptional!

you can not trust these companies anymore, if you hold a lot of crypto is so risky.

Im looking forward buying a second laptop just for business/crypto. Thank you for announcing us!

This is why you should use a hardware wallet.

Still not perfect, but in 98% of the cases, it should be bulletproof.

I ve ordered my ledger nano S already!
