Privacy browser extensions misled users and sold 8 million AI chat logs, exposing sensitive conversations for profit without consent.

Urban VPN is a particularly bad offender. It intercepts all your conversations with ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI bots (glad I don’t use any), and sends them to the VPN vendor for resale. This is nuts.
