I hope we don't get even more locked down permissions for Web Extensions. I would prefer that the Chrome Web Store manually vets every extension and update. Maybe start charging big $$$ like Apple does. Most extensions will disappear from the stores, but they won't disappear from all existence (as changing the permissions model would effectively do). Power users who could vet the extension themselves can install extensions manually (maybe even behind a command line switch to futher filter out computer illiterates). That's a good compromise.
