@radi8 It was an extension Might help others if you say which extension.

Yep was an instagram extension. Thanks

@NotAnOrange said in Google Search switches automatically to Yahoo: Anyone have any tips? Yes. If disabling the dark theme extension didn't fix this, disable all extensions. If that fixes it, then you know that the problem's probably an extension. From there: It's just a matter of finding out what extension's the problem.

I do not know, maybe they showed wrong, maybe these programs were badly picked up because I did not see that it was possible to send malware through cookies.

@genej101 Please report this abusing extension at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/report/fnipglnbhfacfmefbgiiodalehbcgcbm to Google Webstore.

@the_isirgan_ot said in vivaldi Benutzerumfrage ???! Fake oder echt: @catweazle Danke dir für die schnelle Antwort ich benutze Malwarebytes und 360 Total Security Vielleicht solltet ihr die Anderen User warnen, damit die nicht drauf reinfallen.. Wenn dieses Pop-up trotz uBlock auftaucht, kannes nur daran liegen, as du dir irgend ein Adware eingefangen hast, uBlock verhindert nur das die Seite dir solche präsentiert, aber nicht die, die sich in deinem System gemütlich gemacht haben, dafür wäre eigentlich dein AV zuständig.

@muratservan said in Extension Stylish removed from extension store stealing browser data: if it is OpenSource and the extension link points to GitHub you can be sure. Except for Ghostery. It is available on Github and yet still has a bad reputation with its shady business model. That's why people should read comments as you mentioned. True, total security one does not have in some extensions, for example is not only the privacy at stake, but some can even be harmful, taking as an example the extension Hola VPN, which is incomprehensibly still in the store and above has good comments. It is free, it does not have limitations like other VPN, however it has a big BUT, apart from a very turbid business model, it does not use public proxies, but simply exchanges the IPs of its users, with which you can suddenly appear with an IP of a drug lord of Colombia, with corresponding consequences that can bring.

Has anyone been able to verify that the website installs malware or that Opera 53 shows a warning. I visited the dodgy site in Vivaldi and got no malware, and visited it in Opera and got no warning.

@blackbird Thank you. Jerry
