1. Il semble que le scan réalisé par LinkedIn cible surtout des extensions de scraping/IA
2. Il semble que cette campagne soit le fait d'un développeur d'extension de ce type refusée par LinkedIn. #Vengeance
LinkedIn ne devrait pas faire ce type de scan, mais la précision me semble importante.

It's quite damning that the folks behind the #BrowserGate investigation about #LinkedIn's hidden data theft programme have opted to sue #Microsoft in court for #DMA infringement rather than submitting a complaint for public enforcement to the @EUCommission.
It looks like they have little trust in the EU Commission to do that job quickly and effectively enough. 🤷♂️

Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers.
@Vivaldi is this allowed in your browser? 👀
There is a fresh thing going around about LinkedIn scanning extensions installed in Chrome/Chromium:
browsergate.eu/
The website claims "LinkedIn is Illegally Searching Your Computer", and implies the purpose is to find "religious beliefs, political opinions, disabilities".
tl;dr:
- yes, LinkedIn is scanning through a list of 6k+ extensions on Chrome;
- yes, this is bad;
- but the website is disingenuous in making unnecessarily overblown claims.

EDIT: @rysiek has an explanation about the shady things LinkedIn is doing. He explains it far better than I did:

LinkedIn/Microsoft are definitely NOT to be trusted. But I realize phrasing is important. So I’m moderating my own post. I apologize if this was misconstrued.
But I subjectively believe there is a high likelihood that LinkedIn is doing nefarious things with this data.
