Google has come up with a quick fix for those pesky add-ons that attach themselves to your browser like little cyber leeches, according to an article on Mashable.
If you are a Chrome user you can rest assure that these internet parasites will suck your online surfing blood no more! Or at least alleviate some of the annoyance. A red warning label will pop up when you are about to enter a site with bloatware.
The idea is to help users navigate the web without having unwanted extra's on your screen. It will also pick up on deceptive sites on it's search engine. The deceptive sites will be less likely to show up in your results.
While the Google warning won't stop the ever growing problem of ad spam and unwanted downloads, it does put a band aid on it. At least they're trying right?
