Lies, damned lies, and Impact Hero (refoorest, allcolibri)

palant.info

I found 17 extensions using the Impact Hero SDK in Chrome Web Store. These mislead users about their functionality, enable it without real consent, then lie about its ecological impact. And there is more shady stuff going on.

This blog post is about the refoorest browser extension.
