You're welcome.

A couple of weeks ago Chrome blocked KryptoKit by mistake, but they realised their error and re enabled it again pretty quickly. It's a pretty good app. It's very easy to check the price of bitcoin with it and it also has all the latest headlines. And I believe it's made by some trusted members of the bitcoin community, so not much to worry about there.

foxpop: what does refcontrol do ?
Controls the Referer header sent by the browser on a per-site basis. For maximum privacy, you should just configure the browser to not send the Referer header at all, but some sites won't work without it (in violation of the HTTP standard). RefControl allows setting a custom referrer for sites that require one.

True, I have read about people losing btc because of a chrome extension. Sometimes they do contain spyware, the best thing to do is to use them on another device that does not keep your btc, or, inspect the source code.

If you are going to fall for everything out there without doing a basic research and using your brain before getting into something no extension and or security or privacy feature can save you.
 Nothing can save you if you think you are totally secure after installing some addons.
