Finally, thankfully.<p>Just last week i&#x27;ve had to physically remove some about 8 extension directories from chrome&#x27;s extension dir on a laptop I got my hands on, that were according to the extensions page installed by &#x27;domain administrator&#x27;. It was a fuckin&#x27; ad-injecting thing that injected banner ads into every site it rendered.<p>Now can they also please add some sort of protection for these spyware thing that change add parameters to your browser&#x27;s shortcut on your desktop?
