So please don't use it to upload your content on it ... There are plenty of other alternatives out there.

If you have a issue with a file host the site uses bring it up here, people seem to (almost) always want MEGA though.

I use either Mega or NOPY to download so don't listen to this guy.

Google decided to disallow publisher signatures on Chrome extensions and is now relying solely on signing them automatically after upload to the Chrome webstore.
MEGA.nz also showed its dissatisfaction with Google's Chrome Web Store security measures, which, they believe, helped attackers pull off the extension hijack.
- Partly Googles fault! (As per your article link)

Mega does NOT need an extension to work - why use one?

Best practice in my experience is to get yourself a VPN and use

Mega.nz works well for may people - myself included!

So, even IF what you are saying were true, what alternatives do you propose especially for games larger than 1-2GB?

Maybe everyone else just has backroom sponsorship deals out the wazoo but the other sites I've had the displeasure of downloading from tend to enforce ridiculous bandwidth limits and lockout times to pressure you into paid subscriptions. And the older ones don't even allow uploads above 1GB or block free downloads of those files causing a flood of multi-part archives which people inevitably fail to unpack properly.

Nah. Mega is great.

You understood that this isn't made by mega itself, but that their extension was corrupted, right ?
It's not a good sign regarding the security of their service, but it's neither the proof of a malicious intent coming from them.

Just don't use the extension. You don't need the extension to use the website.

Add the fact that the zdnet article is from last year, and MEGA fixing the issue, I don't think your concern is validated by scare-mongering.

There are the desktop/mobile apps which should work just fine. Doesn't mean mega is done just because of one extension.

All three of those articles are over a year old.

Mega noticed the hack and fixed it with a new version within four hours.

Anyone still using the extension will have been automatically updated.

There is no reason to use the extension, JDownloader works much better.
