Yes, this again. I ask my self what is the process for approving extensions deployment, because they are dangerous. This is so obvious that I still can believe that Google can't catch (most of) them. Sometimes you try to believe that malicious extensions are very few, but then these news hit the ecosystem. Time for a reality check.
