The Geco extension has more than 800 reviews on the Chrome Web Store, 4.2 stars (out of 5), and "featured" placement. Microsoft's Edge Add-ons shows similarly glowing write-ups from its 1,000-plus users, and it looks like a perfectly safe extension.

Each of these vulnerabilities were considered critical and patched through emergency updates.
Prevent Chrome from silently checking your PC for Windows 11 readiness and keep your hardware details off Google’s radar.
