I'd be careful with browser extensions in general, particularly in Chrome. They are auto-updated and there has historically been barely any review to ensure nothing shaky is going on. Plus, since I have a semi-popular extension, I'm getting regularly contacted by people who want to buy it or talk about inserting ads, and I've heard various stories about extensions being bought only then to be sneakily "monetized".
