I've definitely done this. The malware extensions are an unstoppable force. I reported every single one I found (I worked at Google at the time) and where 1 fell, 2 would pop back up.
This is probably our fault as "geeks" or whatever. If a browser can't run uBlock Origin or DarkReader, I would never use it. Unfortunately, the technology and hooks you need to implement those two things are also the technology you need to implement "replace all images with my company's ads" or "siphon your bank account details to $COUNTRY_WITHOUT_LEGAL_SYSTEM". If "we" didn't want those things, then users would be more secure. (But you can pry them from my cold, dead hands. So here we are.)
