#CISPA@USENIX 2025 – Browser Extension Security with Shubham Agarwal
Update: 2025-08-13
Description
Usenix Security 2025 is coming up fast – and in this special conference episode of CISPA TL;DR, we’re diving into the world of browser extensions with CISPA researcher Shubham Agarwal. Browser extensions can be incredibly useful – think ad blockers, password managers, or translation tools. But while they extend what our browsers can do, they also often gain access to everything we do online: what we read, type, and click. That makes them a powerful, and potentially risky, piece of software. Shubham took a closer look at the security practices of browser extension developers. What assumptions do they make? What do they get wrong? And what could be done better to protect users? Tune in to hear what he found—and what it means for the security of your daily browsing.
