How do you make sure it's the user responding and not the installer that tricked the user that's sending keystrokes?

  I don't think Chrome extensions are omnipotent. They can't set arbitrary Chrome settings, for example, can they?

    No. But the installer that wrapped around the thing the user actually wanted certainly can. You know. These adware "downloaders" that completely hose your browser unless you find the correc checkbox full of double negatives to check.

        Chrome extensions can be installed in many ways. Does a chrome extension need to be sourced from the chrome web store in order to be considered an chrome extension? One method to install an extension is the chrome web store.. the other methods are typically only used by developers (hence all the dev mode comments) and malware (hence all the "I can live with this" comments)
