Why this one made the cut
Browser extensions can be entry points for various threats like adware, data theft, and cryptomining. Malext.io helps identify and understand potentially harmful browser extensions, providing visibility into threats that may otherwise go unnoticed. The database includes both current and historical malicious extensions, including those that have been taken down from the store.
