But is it better known? That's the determining factor here. The Great Suspender was well-regarded in certain circles, and even fairly well-known (I've never used it but I've heard of it). But even it apparently wasn't above compromise. To be reasonably safe, an extension has to either be a) so well-known that they'd never be able to get away with silently adding malware (because someone would notice, which to be fair is what happened here), or b) tied to a major brand that wouldn't want to sell out to some shady firm, on PR grounds alone.
