Google has received more than 100,000 complaints since January 1, 2015, regarding browser extensions that are injecting unwanted ads into web pages, reports The Register.
The search giant has banned 192 Chrome Extensions in a bid to clean-up its service, while it will also publish a full report next month highlighting the full extent of the problem. In early figures released this week, Google said around five percent of visitors to its sites had at least one ad injector installed, with 50 percent of those having more than one, and a third of those having four or more bypassing their browser.
