Quickly Remove Steam Inventory Helper!!! it's now a spyware!!!
Steam inventory helper has change owner, and the new owner changes the coding.

and now spying on everything we do on the browser!!!

spread this info to everyone else.

https://thenextweb.com/gaming/2017/09/19/steam-inventory-helper-update-seeks-permission-to-spy-on-users/

there are still 900k user using this extension, chances are they didn't know about it.

i accidentally stumble upon it when opening steamRep.

edit :
i had to add this :
- i'm doing this just to help inform.
- i'm not salty about anything, you want to be spied on, be my guest.
- i stumble upon this info, because on SteamRep site, they got a big banner that say to remove steam inventory helper.

edit-2 :
-fixed typo

i think the comment was removed by one of the mods.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've already posted this to my friends and group members earlier as well.

Speaking of security risks, if you use CCleaner, check this topic also: http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/12/1496741765123288519/
