Password-stealing Chrome extension smuggled on to Web Store
Posted: September 5, 2023 by Mark Stockley
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have demonstrated that Chrome browser extensions can steal passwords from the text input fields in websites, even if the extension is compliant with Chrome's latest security and privacy standard, Manifest V3.

One thing I've found *slightly* frustrating is that, should I ever find myself on another instance, there's a whole process to getting to a post from my home instance. I'd really something simple like an automatic redirect to the post on my own instance or something that makes the buttons work on other instances :twilightblush:
It's a mild inconvenience at worst, but it would be handy to have a workaround

25 followers · 226 posts · Server hachyderm.ioThinking about open-sourcing a template for cross-browser extensions. It would:
- Run on Chrome, Firefox and Safari
- Transpile TypeScript to minified JS
- Include build scripts that do the bundling for all three app stores
Any interest in this?

Honestly struggling with #Chrome's Manifest V3 limitations regarding its background script. Can't get any long-lived processes working, and managing hydration of states during suspension and wake up is troublesome as #serviceworkers don't fire events for this.
I'm honestly afraid that I'll just have to fall back and get the browser extension to rely on the desktop app.. And this really defeats all the strides @buttercup has made with its browser extension being its own application. Don't want to do it but I'm seeing no other *reliable* way.
Anyone else out there building #browserextensions hitting this road block? Would really appreciate any words of encouragement or suggestions as to what to do here..

2 followers · 8 posts · Server infosec.exchangeAlready sick of #chrome’s manifest V3 for extensions. The requirement to have service workers instead of background daemons means I can’t keep my password manager’s data in memory.
What am I supposed to do, decrypt the user’s vault every time the service worker wakes?
Anyone have any better ideas? I’d prefer to not have to rely on the desktop app for the “live” vault data, as having a stand alone extension is valuable as a feature in itself.

Modern browser feature to allow message sending between same-origin tabs. Works great for websites and extensions alike. I’m mind-blown.. this totally snuck up on me.
Am now using it in the @buttercup browser extension for inter-tab/popup/background communication as the extension has its own origin. Funny that this seems way more efficient and simple when compared to the native alternatives for extensions (runtime.addListener, sendMessage etc.).

@kerrishotts and I go into depth on how to get started building a browser extension for Safari. From there, we go into the inner workings of writing extensions in JavaScript.
