Hi, Why do I have this built-in extension and how can I remove/disable it? Current version: 0.9.46

EDIT https://askubuntu.com/questions/844090/what-is-cryptotokenextension-in-chromium-extensions

Thanks for the link. I'll look into it.

@Primokorn For now you can look at https://github.com/gcarq/inox-patchset/blob/master/0005-disable-default-extensions.patch and look for the extension in the related files. It should be loaded there somewhere.

Does leaving this extension in do any harm? I don't know how this extension works.

I remember there was a user in the past that used 2FA with ungoogled-chromium, so I'm not as willing to disable it if it can't do anything on its own (2FA required another extension from Google to work).

@Eloston I would also leave it in place if it doesn't do any harm, there valid reasons for using 2FA
