Seems like another case where a successful Chrome extension was bought out so it could be used for either:
1. Mining the users' traffic and reselling it as market research, or
2. Using the users' computers as a pool for a residential proxy service, or
3. Replacing and inserting ads into users' browsers.
This is unfortunately quite common.
