"I also encourage readers to remember that generally speaking, you all _want_ extensions."
Exception here. Never asked for them. Never wanted them. Do not and cannot use them.^1 Seems moot anyway as I doubt anyone ever asked for Chrome itself.
When an extension collects data under the radar it's "malware" but when Google does this, it isn't malware. Funny.
There's really no greater "danger" to www users than Google because it's nearly impossible to stop Google from doing what it wants. The company is embedded in every aspect of using the web. Malware authors might be a threat but they hold no such omnipotent control. Google is the largest threat.
1. Occasional Chrome user via Guest mode that does not permit Extensions.
