Ubisoft/Uplay security risk - malicious remote access from websites

If you have Uplay installed and it added an extension to your web-browser, now is the time to disable that extension.


Firefox:
Tools – Add-ons – Plugins – Disable the Uplay and Uplay PC Hub plugins

Chrome:
Visit about:plugins and disable

Opera:
Settings – Preferences – Advanced – Downloads – Search “Uplay”, delete

Feeling pretty happy about my ongoing refusal to give Ubi any money while they use this stupid DRM, now.
