Comment on Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don'tparent

Browsers have the tools for companies to manage this. My workplace actually does restrict extensions to an annoyingly small allowlist. But I think it’s not on the radar for as many companies because the extension controls are moot if you aren’t restricting which browsers are allowed or if you don’t restrict access to corporate resources to managed devices.

Your place sounds reasonable. I presume it's mostly banks and other such enterprises handling sensitive information. My wife has has to use FF with extensions disabled. Their IT made the right choices on this one
