The Hidden Dangers of Browser Extensions: Why You Should Uninstall Your Video Downloader Add-on

The Trojan Horse

"Just install this extension!" sounds convenient. But downloader extensions demand permission to "Read and change all your data on websites you visit". This means they can technically read your emails and banking info.

5 Reasons to Avoid Them

1. Data Sales: Free extensions often track your history and sell it.
2. Memory Leaks: They run 24/7, eating RAM.
3. Ownership Transfer: Developers sell popular extensions to shady ad companies who inject malware.
4. No Mobile Support: Extensions don't work on iPhone/Android.
5. Bans: Google removes them frequently.
