TL;DR — Click Hijacking Is the Silent Browser Attack You Are Not Tracking

Click hijacking (Clickjacking 2.0) is a modern web attack where:

Browser extensions intercept your clicks
Injected scripts redirect clicks to malicious domains
Invisible overlays trick users into approving actions
Deceptive UI forces login or MFA approvals

This guide outlines 5 CyberDudeBivash-approved mitigation steps every user, enterprise and security team must deploy right now.

Hashtags & Schema

1. What Is Click Hijacking?

Click hijacking is a browser-level manipulation technique where attackers:

Rewrite click targets
Inject transparent overlays
Modify DOM elements during interaction
Trigger background API calls
Cause unwanted downloads or approvals

This is not classical clickjacking (frames). This is the new variant where browser extensions and JavaScript APIs manipulate click behavior at runtime.

2. How Browser Extensions Modify User Clicks

Malicious or compromised extensions can:

Register onclick listeners globally
Inject hidden redirect tags
Replace affiliate links
Trigger fake MFA prompts
Open phishing tabs without user actions

Many users assume “extensions only read data”—that is no longer true. Modern extensions can fully hijack user interaction flows.

3. Why This Threat Is Rising in 2026

CyberDudeBivash ThreatWire intelligence shows:

35% of phishing campaigns now use click hijacking overlays
Browser extension compromise is up 170% year-over-year
Fake AI-helper extensions dominate Chrome Web Store malware
Session cookie theft is heavily driven by click manipulation

Attackers prefer click hijacking because it bypasses:

URL-based filters
MFA (via forced approval taps)
Ad blockers
Traditional anti-phishing engines

4. The 5-Step CyberDudeBivash Click Hijacking Prevention Guide

Step 1 — Remove All High-Permission Extensions

Extensions requesting any of the following are extremely dangerous:

“Read and change all your data on all websites”
“Intercept browsing activity”
“Manage downloads”
“Modify clipboard”

Audit all extensions monthly.

Step 2 — Enable Browser Hardening Flags

Recommended settings:

Chrome: chrome://flags/#cookie-deprecation-enforced
Firefox: privacy.resistFingerprinting = true
Edge: tracking-prevention = strict

Step 3 — Disable Cross-Site Redirect Permissions

Disable pop-ups and automatic redirects globally.

Step 4 — Block Invisible Overlays with CSP

For enterprise teams, deploy Content-Security-Policy with:

Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'none'; script-src 'self';

Step 5 — Use a Trusted Identity Browser

A Zero-Trust browser or container solution ensures:

Session isolation
Extension isolation
Click event sandboxing
Real-time anomaly detection
