MODERATORS
...are...are people using these browser extensions on purpose?
I can't help but notice how many extensions have some form of "(Chat)GPT" in the name.
Do you have coworkers/relatives/friends? They're using them.
As much as I shouldn't be at this point I'm always amazed at what shows up in the router logs at work, or when someone hands me their phone. People routinely hand me their phone then go to get coffee. They stay logged in to everything all the time. WiFi, Bluetooth always on everywhere.
