aaand they're gone.
Anons,
Earlier today I noticed chrome acting more suspicious than usual (the chrome cleanup tool was running for a very long time)
I usually only use chrome when I absolutely have to, so I haven't used it for some time (I don't use it here however). I noticed the fan spin up, which indicated to me something was up. The chrome cleanup tool was running longer than it should. Perhaps looking in places that it should not. Perhaps scanning us for memes? Who knows, its fucking suspicious, and they're fucking communists. That said, I took measures to disable it. See below.
There is a ton of stuff on securing chrome, which is why a lot of us don't use it, but I know there is a handful of you that still do.

I went as far as disabling execution on the folder; there are more things you can do.
