Fake Perplexity Chrome extension spies on your searches

**Fake Perplexity Chrome extension spied on searches** — A malicious Chrome extension named “Search for perplexity ai” redirected address-bar searches through an attacker-controlled domain (perplexity-ai.online), abused chrome_settings_overrides and declarativeNetRequest permissions to capture and log typed search queries (including autocomplete and deleted input), IP addresses, and browser headers before forwarding queries to legitimate search engines; Google removed it from the Web Store but already-installed copies remain and must be uninstalled manually.
