Can Canvas Do Anything about the AI extension Canvas Quiz Solver?

Someone asked a question about the Chrome extension Canvas Quiz Solver already (https://canvasquiz.com/) but the reply from Canvas was not very helpful.

Is Canvas itself doing anything about this? Can Canvas make it so extensions don't work while in the LMS, for example? Is Canvas suing for use of their copyrighted name in the Canvas Quiz Solver website? It's very disheartening for this all to be on the back of instructors. My University won't allow me to do proctored, in-person exams for asynchronous online classes for one thing. I have been trying to use Respondus Lockdown Browser but there have been glitches and they have terrible customer service so far, so I haven't been able to make it work for my situation. I know students can cheat in other ways, but this extension is so ridiculously easy to cheat with that I feel like I can't even use assessments in Canvas anymore if something isn't done to combat it. Canvas doesn't seem like it is even addressing academic integrity and AI except to throw it back to us. I would like to see some more information about Canvas doing something.
