I am really surprised this is not a much bigger problem starting many more years ago. It's amazing that browser vendors let people hack the browser this way. I am very cautious about extensions I install. One I had been using was hacked this way. I found out only because I pay attention. Google never mailed me anything about it. What about people who aren't paying attention? Can't google email people to warn people since they know what extensions are installed and generally have an email address associated with the browser?
