Actually, for apps&amp;#x2F;extensions installed from the official repository, I would be OK with remote removal. This would probably spark an outcry from certain parties, but as long as it does not extend to manually installed extensions it&amp;#x27;s acceptable to me.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Malware in the browser: how you might get hacked by a Chrome extension</title><url>https://kjaer.io/extension-malware/</url></story>
