LinkedIn beats "BrowserGate" lawsuits over scanning users' Chrome extensions

A judge has dismissed lawsuits against LinkedIn over its practice of scanning users' Chrome extensions, ruling that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate a real privacy violation. The company had been scanning users' extensions to identify and block unauthorized access to its platform. The lawsuit claimed that LinkedIn was scanning users' extensions without consent, but the judge disagreed, stating that the plaintiffs didn't provide any evidence of actual harm or a clear violation of their rights.
