   If you have Chromium versions of Nano Adblocker or Nano Defender, pay   
   attention.

   Adblocking extensions with more than 300,000 active users have been   
   surreptitiously uploading user browsing data and tampering with users'   
   social media accounts thanks to malware its new owner introduced a few   
   weeks ago, according to technical analyses and posts on Github.   
      
   ugo Xu, developer of the Nano Adblocker and Nano Defender extensions,   
   said 17 days ago that he no longer had the time to maintain the   
   project and had sold the rights to the versions available in Google's   
   Chrome Web Store. Xu told me that Nano Adblocker and Nano Defender,   
   which often are installed together, have about 300,000 installations   
   total.
