Sounds like a feature to me :)

Yes, a feature that results in the user details of millions of innocent users getting harvested. Remind us your contact details again, so we can forward them to the FBI?

I would much rather live in a world where people are aware of that possible problem than a world where paid extensions were the norm.

e: If there were paid extensions there would be pirated extensions and this problem would be even more common imo :)
