This is no joke.
I've owned a quite popular open source Chrome extension for years. The amount of total donations wouldn't pay for a month of coffee.
But oh boy, the number of times and insane numbers I was offered to sell the extension for obviously nefarious purposes (some of them outright explicit).
I rejected them all but nobody in their sane mind would really expect the moral virtue of the original developer to be the only security and privacy framework for this scenario.
