Lots of people have chrome extensions installed that use their connection like proxy so this is more common than you think

  Can you provide any examples of these extensions? I'm not doubting you, just curious.

    There's one mentioned here: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/data-stealing-chrome-extensions-impersonate-fortinet-youtube-vpns/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/data-stealing... Anyone who owns a chrome extension with 50k+ installs is regularly asked to sell it to people (myself included). The people who buy the extensions try to monetize them any way they can, like proxying traffic for malicious scrapers / attacks.
