Yet another fake Ledger Nano S extension has recently appeared on Google Store and, more importantly, in google ads, which is why browsing internet without uBlock is not recommended anymore: you may fall victim to fake wallet apps and lose your cryptocurrency. No hardware wallet will help, because fake apps ask for your seed phrase to "restore" your wallet.

Some screenshots:

Is your witcher_sense link to a completely different extension, or am I missing something?

This is the extension

Fortunately, Google Store responded very quickly and this extension is no longer there today.
Search results today with a blank page.

But since March, as it was discovered by a specialist MyCrypto.

It consisted of over 120 installations.

Edited.

It looks like they are two different extensions.
Scamers cannot calm down and after they are caught, they create something new. :o
