   My research on how Chrome extensions spam Chrome Web Store search with irrelevant keywords has been picked up by @dangoodin: https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/01/googles-chrome-web-store-has-a-serious-spam-problem-promoting-shady-extensions/

   The article quotes me towards the end, something that is worth repeating:

   “It wasn’t that hard to notice, and they have better access to the data than me. So either Google isn’t looking or they don’t care.”
