https://browsergate.eu/executive-summary/ The Bigger Picture Because #LinkedIn knows each visitor’s name, employer, and job title, every detected extension is matched to an identified individual. And because LinkedIn knows where each user works, these individual scans aggregate into detailed profiles of companies, institutions, and government agencies, revealing which software tools their employees use without the organization’s knowledge or consent. The malicious JavaScript that #Microsoft secretly injects into the LinkedIn website searches each user’s browser for installed software applications. The search reveals: #Political opinions of users, through extensions like “Anti-woke,” “Anti-Zionist Tag,” and “No more Musk” #Religious beliefs, through extensions like “PordaAI” (blur haram content) and “Deen Shield” (blocks #haram sites) #Disability and neurodivergence, through extensions like “simplify” (for #neurodivergent users) Employment status, through 509 job search extensions that reveal who is looking for work on the very platform where their current #employer can see their profile Trade secrets of millions of companies, by mapping which organizations use which competitor products, from Apollo to ZoomInfo LinkedIn has not disclosed this practice in its privacy policy. There is no mention of extension scanning in any public-facing document.
