Another Fucking Browser Extension Security Shitshow
Oh for fuck’s sake. Just when you thought it was safe to let your users near a browser without them installing every piece of shiny garbage they find, some wankers discover that OpenClaw—yet another “AI-powered productivity extension” that promises to revolutionize how you click buttons or some bollocks—is about as secure as a chocolate teapot full of piss.
Turns out this ClawJacked attack lets any malicious website hijack the extension and rifle through your data like a bloody pickpocket at a crowded concert. Cookies? Gone. Authentication tokens? Nicked. Your entire digital life? Siphoned off to some bastard in a basement while you’re busy wondering why your browser is running slower than a sloth on sedatives.
And you know what the real pisser is? Users will STILL click “Add to Chrome” on any extension that promises to write their emails, organize their porn collection, or wipe their arse for them. These are the same people who think password123 is secure because it has numbers in it. The researchers found this hole, disclosed it to the developers, and now we all get to wait six months for a patch while every script kiddie and their grandmother exploits it.
Stop installing browser extensions. Just stop. Use a fucking text editor and a terminal like God intended, or accept that your data is basically public property at this point.

Back in my day, users would install five different toolbars in Internet Explorer and wonder why the browser took fifteen minutes to open a webpage. Now they install “AI assistants” that hand their credentials over to any website that asks nicely. The technology changes, but the stupidity remains eternal.
