Suspicious uBlock Origin version on Chrome Web Store

[pubmikeb]

I was looking for uBlock Origin, and the Chrome Web Store search returned me:

• https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/hmnojgngbpmfaeepgokfdcdgfachcilj

It looks like a fake of the original extension:

• https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm

Since the original one is not MV3-friendly, Chrome Web Store doesn't show it in the search. Instead, we get a link to this suspicious extension. Please check if it's a fake or malware.

@oliverdunk Please take a look.

Noted, thanks. I’ll reach out to the team.

@oliverdunk, the initially reported suspicious extension has been removed, thanks.

However, there is another one, which uses the uBlock name too:

• https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-v3/cinnpifenmpjfcbdbdmhnndfgcpmfhna

It also looks like suspicious, could you please check this extension, if it's the legit-one.

The suspicious extensions have been removed from the store.
Thanks.
