Chrome store is full of mal- & spyware. And guess what, google doesn't give a shit. Even after multiple reports with proof!

Yes. Something along the lines of "chrome store is for YOUR own good so we can make sure you only install safe addons".

Turns out that was a lie to lock people further into their ecosystem and probably also to increase control over what people can and can't install easily. Just like 99% of the time big companies say something
