I have a hypothetical question on this.
If say, I had a crypto wallet via extension in chrome.
And unlock origin goes away.
I then visit a site I used to visit where pop ups were blocked
Malware gets installed. Crypto wallet gets drained.
Can I sue Google ?
I ask because I do have a tiny wallet that is via extension. Curious how someone with a much larger one on there would go...
Terms of service you agreed to when installing it protects them from all liability.
While I agree.
Part of me thinks it's like "we removed the seatbelts from the rollercoaster. It's now your responsibility to hold on"...
That's why laws that mandate safety are important. Seatbelts on rollercoasters are mandatory, while tech companies can pretty much put anything in terms of service since they have enough of the politicians in their pocket that nobody outlaws it.
