Agree with you we should be really careful with the extensions, my friend became a victim of it just a few months ago. He installed a number of browser extensions for various purposes, and after a while his information was stolen and the thief gained his private key. He lost all the ETH he had hoarded for more than 2 years and now he has become an empty-handed in this market. Ideally, we should keep the computer clean and never install any strange software on the computer
