Google Announces new content security for protection against malicious Gmail Extensions

There are many third-party extensions available for chrome and especially many developers go for extensions for Gmail. Google is always doing its best to make sure all malicious add-ons don’t get spread, but still they are always out there. Last year, Google improved privacy of its Gmail users, which is believed to be done because of security issue raise by NSA. Now Google is going even further with the security. Danish Irani the Software Engineer of Gmail security announced a new security feature related to extensions. Google has implemented something new called Content Security Policy (CSP).

With the help of CSP you will be able to stop malicious extensions from changing things which you don’t want them to change. There are many add-ons that can slow your system down or even use a malware to compromise the security of your system. Google says that most of the popular extensions have already adopted CSP without any issue, but still many extensions need to be updated. It is perfect for people who use different Gmail add-ons frequently. CSP will definitely be a great way to clean those messy extensions and remove all malicious ones.
