Incredible to see how many of the top extensions in terms of growth are spam / spyware extensions (ask.com for example). I'm sure it's a game of whack-a-mole for the admins of the Chrome Web Store.
Most of the extension reviews say they are spam. Are they installing by themselves somehow on gullible user computers ?
