Grammarly has fixed a security bug in its Chrome extension that inadvertently allowed access to a user's account -- including their private documents and data.
Tavis Ormandy, a security researcher at Google's Project Zero who found the "high severity" vulnerability, said the browser extension exposed authentication tokens to all websites.
That means any website can access a user's documents, history, logs, and other data, the bug report said.

The Netflix video quality that streams are delivered in depends on a number of factors. There is the customer's Internet line which may affect it but also the device, operating system and program used to stream Netflix videos.

On Windows PCs, for instance, 4K playback is only available if you use Microsoft Edge or the Netflix Windows Store app. If you use Chrome, Firefox, or any other browser, all you get is 720p streams by default with seemingly no option to improve the quality of the stream.

Netflix 1080p is a new browser extension for Google Chrome. It should work in other browsers that support Chrome's extensions system.

GitHub - truedread/netflix-1080p: Chrome extension to play Netflix in 1080p

Notes
This may raise your CPU usage since Netflix was never intended to be played back in 1080p on Chrome.

Make sure to clear your browser cache, as the cached playercore will override the modified one and you will not be able to play 1080p.
