Do you know that Google
has finally decided to remove off the AVG Extensions and Avast from the Google
Web Store? Well, Google has just recently announced this news through their
Twitter account for all the users. In the last few weeks, Adblock Plus creator
Wladimir Palant unveiled the details about how the four of the browser
extensions from AVG and Avast have been uploading the detailed browsing set of profiles
of different users. According to current local news,
Google has just recently removed off all three browser add-ons from their
Chrome Web Store.
AVG is known as the subsidiary
of the cyber-security firm Avast. Both of them are offering the same set of
extensions in the middle of various forms of branding. Online protection or security
has been warning about malicious sites. SafePrice is known to be the major
shopping tool.
As per the recent Adblock
Plus developer, all 4 of them are collecting the data that somehow exceed by
far what would be considered as much important and needed for the various
security extensions. For instance, the information that has been sent back has
been including the URLs and hence how you have been previously visited, how you
arrived at the page, and what sort of system you have been using. Google has
not yet given any sort of brief highlight details on this entire matter.
The data that has been collected
here has been going as far beyond that is merely exposing all the sites which
you have visited along with your search history. Right through the involvement
of the tracking tab plus with the window identifiers and your action, Avast is
enabling you to create a complete precise reconstruction in favor of the
browsing behavior. This will make you learn about how many actual tabs you have
opened and what sort of websites you are visiting and at what time you visit
them.
Most of the other
remaining collections are based upon different terminologies but there have
been so many other ways through which you can operate the entire security
extension. For instance, the platform of Google Safe Browsing is checking up on
the local listings that have been downloaded to offer the same set of warnings
when you are visiting any sort of dangerous pages.
In simple, Avast
SafePrice, as well as Avast Online Security, also the AVG SafePrice have been
completely removed off from the area of Chrome Web Store just for the reason
that the AVG Online Security is still available for you. This will be following
upon with some similar set of enforcement by Opera as well as Firefox which
will be happening this month. Avast has been working through Mozilla to take
into account some online security set of extensions that has been listed all
over again by removing off with some unneeded collections. This will hence presumably
issue similar fixes for the set of Chrome counterparts. Google has not yet
given any sort of brief highlight details on this entire matter.
