Roskomnadzor asked Google and Opera to remove the plugin for bypassing the Censor Tracker blocking from extension stores.
Roskomnadzor discovered a plugin in the Opera and Google Chrome browser extension stores containing information on ways to bypass blocking. The agency has included links to it in the Unified Register of Prohibited Information. Roskomnadzor sent extended demands to Opera and Google, as well as to the developers, about the need to clarify access to illegal materials.
