quick correction - this isn't obfuscated JS - it's transpiled + bundled typescript, possibly from babel + tsc, which is a really common configuration for a lot of chrome extensions. this is confirmed by the file name "main.ts-DXC..." showing that the original file is called "main.ts"
I was thinking the same thing I notise that when I use ViteJS something similar happens JS gets minimized and the file gets my given name + some random charaters.
What boggles my mind is how legitimate users and developers always get screwed, but somehow hackers are able to obtain phone numbers to create a myriad of accounts. Not only that, but that their generic "reviews" are always seen as legitimate by Google and other companies, while us humans know by looking at them that those "reviews" are completely automated.
They have got the worst targets possible. Anyone who uses such extensions are too young to use facebook and anyone who uses facebook is too old to use extensions
Great video, I wouldn’t mind if it was a bit more in depth on which data is send on which api call when you were talking about Facebook info stealer part, it peaked my interest
It would be easy to reduce the number of such addons - google needs to make rule that no obfuscated or minified js is allowed in extension. Should be easy to detect with some kind of scanners or AI.
I remember back in 2022 downloading an extension that allowed you to fullscreen videos, but pop them out of the screen, so you could have multiple videos fullscreened at once. One day, while watching a show on Netflix, a new window popped up directing to Amazon, (The type of window only extensions can open, no minimize, no expand, only an X) and I saw them attempting to log into my account realtime. I was so terrified I closed the window and deleted the extension, but I found it quite fascinating. Imagine I wasn't using the computer at the time! Ever since then I've been extremely suspicious of chrome extensions.
Why the hell would you want an extension that edits your cookies? I like my cookies just the way they are, thank you very much. And why are you using chrome!?
useful for web dev, being able to export/import cookies for specific cases both are mainly for when you know you want to mess with the cookies or look into the cookies to debug and/or access features/accounts as site admins without actual implementations in the front end tl;dr - Web developers finnagle with cookies, so an easier/preferrable/convenient way to do it is always nice

They now have changed their name from EditThisCookie*s* to EditThisCookieⓇ to make it even less obvious. How devious is that!
yeah, that the only reason to install opera gx
In Brave, the extension was removed. You can't even search for it, even though the name pops up during search.
Ridiculous how there is apparently no moderation for chrome extensions
@@Xport9 No. I just installed it normally
@@NepTuneLuisopera is spyware 🤦♂️

Transpiled AND minified. Transpiled (even bundled) but non-minified code looks just barely readable.

How does Chrome still allow these? Do they have any moderation?
they most likely do, but probably use legit code, then update it
I guess they just allow everything besides adblockers that could block RUclips ads.
Its a mega corp, u shouldnt really expect much from them. Besides possibly losing money from adblockers or gaining money through ads/data collection
@@leonhre Last I checked uBlock origin is on their offical chromewebstore.
@@leonhre of course. adblock hurts their wallet. spyware extensions only hurt the consumer
Examine the pie adblocker next!
YES

I swear Pie adblocker has something hooked into Ublock Origin to where I *always* get their ad before a video now, and its just this *one* ad.
They have got the worst targets possible. Anyone who uses such extensions are too young to use facebook and anyone who uses facebook is too old to use extensions
The real EditThisCookie extension (without the S) is frequently used by developers and tech-savvy users.
Report this extension. This looks very invasive.

You actually dont need chrome extension to edit cookies, you can literally just use chrome dev tools
this is just a better frontend for it, allows you to import & export cookies among other things
Can someone explain to me what these cookie editing extensions are supposed to add? I thought you could just edit cookies through the devtools.
Why come you didn't put the link to the extension in the Description?
I don't have that exact one, but is it bad to use any of these cookie editing extensions?
No
This is a fake extension made to look like the EditThisCookie extension. The real one is safe. This one is not
I once installed this and when I did a Malwarebytes scan, it popped up with some detections from this extension.
Would Manifest v3 help mitigate this?
Probably nah, it will just prevent ads from being read by extensions ig
Do pie adblocker
using google chrome profiles as a sandbox is genius
thank u eric for exposing this extension my emails password got changed bc of this i tested
i can't believe that ppl still believe that extensions are less dangerous and that .exe's
paws at cookies (and eric)
ive seen you at every single video of eric's 😭
paws at you

allow incognito is also a safe bet

I used this before, but I'm broke so technically i trolled them.

Another day of asking to review TLauncher
TLauncher has already been carefully examined, but I 100% agree that it would make for a good video.
@grogus examined by who? also whoever examined it did they say is it spyware or not?
@@adiadic4722 I heard it in a yt video from TheMisterEpic, someone I used to watch, which made a video on the TLauncher controversy.
@grogus MisterEpic's video is not very informative. He didn't even include any link to source.
20 views?! I thought it would have more

The only extension you need for Chrome is Ublock lite
ublock origin is the ONLY valid choice for adblocker (while you still can use origin, after which lite will -as you say- be the right choice)
It's great for Firefox as well, it's just universally good across browsers 👍.
The only extension on Chrome you need is to never install Chrome ever.
@@NineteenNinetyFork what about Malware Bytes Browser Guard?
@the-answer-is-42 It's best used with Firefox, even the developer recommends it
