drunkendog··on JSON formatter Chrome plugin now closed and injecting adware
From the author on HN a couple years ago:

> FWIW, and since a few of you probably use it… I own the JSON Formatter extension [0], which I created and open-sourced 12 years ago and have maintained [1] ever since, with 2 million users today. And I solemnly swear that I will never add any code that sends any data anywhere, nor let it fall into the hands of anyone else who would. I’ve been emailed several tempting cash offers from shady people who presumably want to steal everyone’s data or worse. I sometimes wish I had never put my name on it so I could just take the money without harming my reputation, but I did, so I’m stuck with being honourable. On the plus side I will always be able to say that I never sold out.

Fork of neko; differences can be seen here: https://github.com/m1k1o/neko/compare/master...wanjohiryan:q...

Commit messages seem like a bit of a mess at first glance, but otherwise seems like a really cool project!

> Do you have any information about the environment in which a card was used?

That would be even more true for cards owned by non-miners; most miners will operate at a large enough scale to use some best practices, which definitely isn't true about most people who buy GPUs for personal use.
