A few weeks ago, we took a look at a couple of fake Chrome extensions. Since those did so well, I wanted to revisit the Chrome Web Store today. Just with a bit of a twist. I'm on the hunt for more fake extensions, and I'm gonna install as many as I can until the browser crashes. This should be fun...

Yes

@Etan i almost got ip grabbed because of an ad that i accidentally cpicked, it suddenly popped up
Also lots of corporation makes off money and steal your data with ads so shut up, maybe its because you try to steal other people data with scam website with ads
@Etan Selfish? As they farm your data? If you want to support a content creator or streamer, directly donate to them or buy their merch. UA-cam takes a large chunk of their Ad rev anyway. Dont support big corp if you can.

This is like the 2020 equivalent of downloading a bunch of fake toolbars on internet explorer. I remember watching my dad fix computers and many of them had so many toolbars that you could hardly see the website. XD
This has some nostalgic 2010s vibe, back when every app had its search toolbar and your internet explorer was totally flooded with them when you accidentaly opened it.

This reminds me of when I accidentally added so many toolbars to Internet Explorer back in the 2000s that they filled up like half the screen. This actually worked out because it meant that we switched to Chrome.
You switched to Chrome?!? I feel bad for you...
Chrome with useless extensions is like Windows 10 with bloatware.
Agreed.
windows 10 comes with bloatware preinstalled
@Lil' Red Crewmate the new edge is good
@Lil' Red Crewmate new edge is actually good.

This video serves as an excellent representation of RAM and how so many people misunderstand it. A web browser using 200-300MB of RAM nowadays is not memory intensive by any stretch. 1GB is not intensive even, depending on the task you're performing at the time (streaming a HD video for example).
Stop eying your RAM guys. Only time to start looking at it is if you're having performance issues. Even then, you're only looking for apps that constantly chew up more and more memory by the second without you even doing anything and not stopping (otherwise known as a memory leak). Otherwise, memory in use is a good thing. Apps cache things in RAM to help speed up fetching of data and improve performance. Your system will never take a hit as long as it doesn't run out of memory. Any percentage of free RAM, no matter how small is all good if your system's still performing.
As an example, I've used a gaming laptop with 32GB RAM and an iMac with 8GB RAM. Percentage of RAM in use during regular computing has been more or less the same and performance hasn't taken a hit on the machine with less RAM. Speed of RAM is far more useful than the amount of it you have installed in your system and the speed of Random Access Memory is always gonna be faster than even SSD storage so caching in memory is good for performance, not bad.
Sorry for the essay. It just always bugs me when people constantly refer to RAM in use as a metric.
My first PC had only 2gb of ram and the browser barely worked on top of few other things
Yeah. I don't understand why people opening task manager and be like "omg chrome takes 300 mb this is so horrible" while having enough memory to open more things in the system.
you've got a genuinely good natural sense of humor and the chill feeling of the video is nice. nice stuff
I bet in the future you can install SoftRAM on chrome😅

11:44 i remember that site template. it was also on old ROBLOX "Free ROBUX" scam websites from 2016.
I always wondered how do those verification scams seem to be advertising legit products isn't that illegal on the other persons end because once I was trying to find something and found one of those sites and it wanted me to download a legit Disney game for 30 seconds I mean how does that work?
When someone wants to advertise their products, they sometimes ask a sketchy company to do it for them. The sketchy company says that everytime someone downloads their product the owner pays 20 cents, The owner agrees; BUT the company advertises it is verification scams and when the kids download it the owner will be happy it's getting someone downloads but he doesn't know that it's the kids that are only downloading it for free stuff, so when the kids realise it doesn't work they'll just delete the app and the owner has to pay 20 cents to the company because of the downloads it got.

These extensions likely have hidden malware or similar in the code. Ive seen lots of these that have this that logs keystrokes or can be used to execute a command and it likely goes to a server that then shoots an actual piece of malware when it doesnt detect it being in a virtual environment to avoid reverse engineering the malware.
