Beware of shillkill.com's chrome extension

I am the founder of shillkill, I just saw this thread. To simplify communication, you or anyone interested in asking questions can do so publicly directly on twitter on our handle @shillkilled, its faster and easier to respond that way.
Your concerns, fear and caution regarding any tool for crypto traders is justified and highly recommended. The new version is no more a chrome extension, its a web app that just needs twitter permissions and removes spammers across all twitter web browser (chome, mozilla, ie, brave etc) and mobile apps (android/ios). Go ahead and check it out on www.shillkill.com Smiley

Shillkill is made to help traders and not to harm them. Older chrome extension is closed but the code was & is still open source in case anyone wants to research further.
- Happy trading and have a great new year folks!

To anyone:
You're probably seldom on Twitter, taking the temperature of your favorites alts, and you just type "$ + your alt" in Twitter search engine to look for the last tweets about it.
Recently, there has been a wave of massive spam with those posts "Binance registration is now OPEN for limited time!", whatever, followed by a list of coins, to be displayed in your search results.

More recently, there has been an addition, amongst those search results.
One website pretends to have the solution to all that spam, and propose you to install a chrome extension, ie shillkill, described as a "Free chrome extension to hide tweets that over-shill crypto cash tags & promote groups".

Be really really wary about that and do not install that extension.

What's the best way to persuade crypto users to install an infected extension ?
You just create a problem, only in crypto-related fields (here Twitter with crypto-related hashtags), and then you deliver a piece of code pretending to help users to solve the problem.

So to anyone: Do not download that shaddy extension !

It looks scam, it tastes scam, it smells scam,... Oh but wait, it's scam!  Cheesy
