Because they're so hard to monetize, browser extensions have become major targets of exploitation by dodgy marketing firms, who pay developers to insert hidden code that collects data, injects ads, or even use the user's computing resources without authorization. Quite often, these firms would buy out the extensions and completely subvert it for their nefarious purpose.
In order for an extension to inject code on arbitrary websites, it must request this specific permission: "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit". Many extensions request this permission out of convenience, when it is not necessary for their operation.
The Extension Auditor addon will list all the extensions you currently have installed that had requested this permission, giving you a quick overview of your risk profile. It also links to discussion forums where knowledge can be shared about other risk factors such as developer reputation and ownership changes.
Occasionally, an extension will "go rogue". It is our hope that through the discussion forum, we can identify these instances and warn the users through the Auditor extension.

Risk Assessment for Browser Extensions Installed in Your Browser.
Good idea in principle but in practice there is literally no discussion taking place. I would have expected to see a list maintained of currently "rogue" Chrome extensions, followed by proof and research. However i found none of that. Shame, could be a great extension but seems to be left by the wayside
Excellent extension. Through it I discovered that the "imagus" extension is harvesting my browsing history, which is not necessary for it to work. Portuguese (Brazil) Excelente extensão. Através dela, descobri que a extensão “imagus” está colhendo os meus históricos de navegação, o que não é necessário para a mesma funcionar.
