Extension developers - watchout for shady offers to buy/collaborate/help monetize
If you feel like reading a lot, you can see a nice example here: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362 (popular addon is sold to 2 Turkish developers and author is happy that he made money and that someone will continue his project, except they released malware with the first update :D)

Firejail that shit!
Nano-Defender List for uBO, it wasn't great to begin with (based on Reek's Anti-Adblock Killer, which is known to cause issues), but for like half a year ago the project (the list's accompanying Chrome addon to be precise) has been sold to malware distributors: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362

Nano Defender filter list URls are broken, has anyone found a fix? Does anyone know why it's broken?
Forgot to mention the obvious: uninstall now -- with those capabilities, it should be considered malware. Source: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362#issuecomment-709456180

3 Million Google Chrome Users were Infected by Malicious Extensions and More Keep Popping Up
I remember the cases of two addons being hijacked for malware distribution: The Great Suspender and one called Nano Adblocker. At least in the case of the former, not only were the changes not published on github, code had been added to obfuscate debugging through the browser; Code was also added to detect and obfuscate its code if it detected that the user was trying to inspect/debug the addon from within the browser using the developer console. The author of Ublock Origin shares his analysis of that here.

Impossible? Someone Has Drained my Entire Nano S / Ledger Live wallet without Ledger Connected?
Unless you have seen all the data surrounding Ledger Live you wouldn't know. From Malicious Nano Defenders Adblocks designed to infiltrate you and data mine you specifically. Raymond Hill creator of ublock comments here https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362#issuecomment-709428210 ... To leaking all personal data on its customers... their is more obviously.... Run... Final conclusion GUILTY, not only for negligence but intent to isolate target and steal its own customers monies.

The Great Suspender once again contains malware
Happened in (2021)[https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1...], and then a few others have forked the extension and tried to revive it, only to eventually sell to nefarious owners or sell user data themselves

People often recommend open source apps for malware free apps. But has there ever been a case where a *popular* open source project was found to be malicious after some time?

> TLDR: The old maintainer appears to have sold the extension to parties unknown, who have malicious intent to exploit the users of this extension in advertising fraud, tracking, and more. In v7.1.8 of the extension (published to the web store but NOT to GitHub), arbitrary code was executed from a remote server, which appeared to be used to commit a variety of tracking and fraud actions. After Microsoft removed it from Edge for malware, v7.1.9 was created without this code: that has been the code distributed by the web store since November, and it does not appear to load the compromised script. However, the malicious maintainer remains in control, however, and can introduce an update at any time. It further appears that, while v7.1.9 was what was listed on the store, those who had the hostile v7.1.8 installed did NOT automatically receive the malware-removing update, and continued running the hostile code until Google force-disabled the extension.

Is the SingleFile extension flagged as high risk by ChromeStats (link), just because of the nature of it saving your page ?
For what it is worth, you may have heard of the Great Suspender incident (https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1263). It was used by millions, and was also open source on GitHub, but it could still end up becoming malicious.

Behold the Android-Windows ecosystem.
Long ass comment: That is not true for the most part. While the increased amount of individuals working of an OSS project may lead to better vulnerability detection according to both parties of the closed-source/proprietary debate, it doesn't lead to a massively more secure software overall. Not all reviewers have the similar experience or expertise and, because of it, not everyone will be able to review, identify or patch any flaws or vulnerability of a specific software since it may require other skills beyond just basic programming skills such as network or cryptographic skills. [1] Some even suggested that the large number of users contributing to the project can lead people "into a false sense of security." [2] Overall, some papers conclude that being an open source software or a proprietary software isn't an important factor for security and suggest considering other factors, such as the particular vendor/maintainer that controls the entire process. [3] After all, what if the maintainer decides to sabotage their own code? What if the project was sold to another maintainer for its own shaddy needs?

If you're referring to The Great Suspender, that extension was bought by an advertising company earlier this year. I'm using the last good version (github) though.
