The developer of a very popular Google Chrome extension has regained access over his tool after an unknown hacker had managed to hijack his developer account and push a malicious version that contained adware.

The extension’s name is Web Developer, a tool developed by Chris Pederick, Director of Engineering at Bleacher Report. The extension overlays a popup with various debug tools that developers can use when building or editing their websites.
