Google has removed today the "Stylish" Israeli extension of its browser for privacy violation and private data collection.
Mozilla has also removed the extension of its Firefox browser store.
Stylish is the property of SimilarWeb, an Israeli digital market intelligence company based in the coastal city of Tel Aviv.
The extension, downloaded by two million users, makes it possible to rethink and modify the elements of the searched web pages.
Robert Heaton, a software engineer from the United States, posted on his blog that the extension has become "a real spyware disguised as a browser add-on that steals all the search history of l & # 39; user ".
Heaton's publication made headlines on US technology sites, prompting Google and Firefox to remove Stylish.
However, users who have already downloaded the extension can continue to use it as usual.
