A few hours ago, Google removed the popular program extension tourς chrome, The Great Suspender from the extensions web store, because it was installing malware in user systems.
Those who opened many tabs in program Google browsing Chrome παρατηρούσαν ότι κατανάλωναν πολύ μνήμη RAM καθώς και αρκετή επεξεργαστική ισχύ. Η επέκταση του προγράμματος περιήγησης Chrome The Great Suspender αφορούσε αυτό το πρόβλημα, καθώς υποσχόταν ότι μπορεί να το λύσει. Η επέκταση σάς επέτρεπε να αναστείλετε τις καρτέλες σας για να μην καταναλώνουν μνήμη.
Last year the developer of the extension changed the code, as you can read in this post on GitHub. There is a note that the browser extension can now install malware on the target system. Starting with her version 7.1.8, added an exploit to the code of The Great Suspender extension that could run almost any type of code on a user's computer without their knowledge.
Η Microsoft also removed the extension from the Microsoft Edge extensions web store.
Thus the extension was forcibly disabled on all the systems that had been installed.
