Better History Chrome extension goes rogue, hijacks browsers and displays ads

Google has banned the Better History extension from the Chrome web store. Users raised concerns that the extension had changed its behaviour in recent weeks.

Other extensions with similar behaviour have also been banned from Chrome Web store. Author Roy Kolak has apologised for not informing users that extensions ownership had changed hands, and said he would email the user mailing list (which had not been sold)”]
