Google announced that it will keep third party code injection out of the browser:
https://blog.chromium.org/2017/11/reducing-chrome-crashes-caused-by-third.htmlThis will be so from july 2018 onwards. Microsoft signed code will be accepted,
("Microsoft-signed code, accessibility software, and IME software will not be affected.")
so Windows Defender will have a preferred advantage over third party injectors like a tool as say Adguard.
Seems Google will keep everything out that interferes or checks their core business.
Will this also affect the avast shields for instance?
Will be interesting to hear how AV vendors will react
when Google urges end-users to uninstall their AV solution of choice, because of crashing their client (browser)?
Please, Google don't be evil, as we know with stealth bitcoin mining arriving through third party code,
Google should consider such policies.
Isn't Google getting too big a technology data-slurping giant,
and is it not better for authorities to split the giant up,
to at least help innovation amongst other things.
Was that why they dropped that logo, see attached?
Will Google come with their own AV? ->
