> collects some data that I would define as telemetry Maybe the platform and os can be described as "telemetry", but logging the hostname definitely counts as stealing private data! Apple by default uses the user's name as host name (eg. "John-Does-Macbook-Air.local"), so you could use this to determine if a specific person has installed your extension. That is spyware, not telemetry. The malicious extension could then, once it has determined a specific target user has installed the extension, ship a malicious update.
