I've been using KeePass to store my password for ages but I decided the other day to start using it properly with a YubiKey + auto-typing / etc; some of the poo poo I login to for work just has the page title "Login" which fucks with the auto-type (goon autism won't allow me to just choose the correct entry off a list) and so I was thinking about installing a chrome extension to add the site url to the tab title as an elegant solution

From what I understand most drive-by malware will scan for a ton of different extensions to exploit and the few options I can see for my tab title idea don't seem to have a lot of users (and so probably aren't maintained) / I don't imagine the authors give two shits about security (not to mention the extension itself could be malicious / get purchased by some shady people in the future and made to be malicious)

Any general thoughts on keeping safe with chrome extensions / any other suggestions for my auto-typing woes?

Why is any of this better than just using one of the approved chrome keepass extensions?

I didn't see one listed in the OP :downs:

But also I guess I was asking about thoughts on installing non-essential Chrome extensions - I figure uBlock will help me avoid most drive-by infections but how big of a deal / how much consideration do people think I should treat this stuff with? Is life really worth living without Cloud-to-Butt or similar?
