Web Security, a Firefox extension with over 200,000 current users, tracks every website users visit and stores that information on a German web server.
Web Security是Firefox扩展,具有超过200,000的当前用户,它跟踪访问的每个网站用户并将该信息存储在德语Web服务器上。
The extension was recommended by Mozilla in a blog post last week about add-ons that improve users’ privacy. Mozilla has since edited the post, removing Web Security.
Mozilla 上周在博客文章中推荐了该扩展程序,该博客内容涉及可改善用户隐私的附加组件。 此后,Mozilla编辑了该帖子,删除了Web Security。

Here’s Catalin Cimpanu, writing for Bleeping Computer about how the extension goes too far in tracking users:
这是Catalin Cimpanu, 他为Bleeping Computer撰写有关扩展如何在跟踪用户方面太过复杂的内容:
Under normal circumstances, a Firefox add-on that needs to scan for threats might be entitled to check the URLs it scans on a remote server, but according to a format of the data the add-on was sending to the remote server, Web Security appears to be logging more than the current URL.
在正常情况下,需要扫描威胁的Firefox附加组件可能有权检查其在远程服务器上扫描的URL,但根据该附件发送到远程服务器的数据格式,即Web安全似乎记录的内容多于当前网址。
The data shows the plugin tracking individual users by an ID, along with their browsing pattern, logging how users went from an “oldUrl” to a “newUrl.”
数据显示插件通过ID跟踪单个用户以及他们的浏览模式,记录用户如何从“ oldUrl”转到“ newUrl”。
We’re just going to say it again: browsers extensions are a privacy nightmare. Apparently even Mozilla can’t keep track of which extensions are helpful for improving your privacy and which ones are actively spying on users. How are regular users supposed to know who to trust?
我们只想再说一遍: 浏览器扩展是一场隐私梦night 。 显然,即使Mozilla也无法追踪哪些扩展名有助于改善您的隐私,哪些扩展名正在监视用户。 普通用户应该如何知道信任谁?
