Google recently removed several hundred extensions which were found to contain malware. Tons of extensions have been caught saving & selling users' browsing history, notably the ironically titled popular "web of trust".
It's sadly not uncommon for malware hosts to acquire extensions and then use them to inject ads to spread their malware.
The Epic Privacy Browser presciently blocked almost all extensions citing those vulnerabilities and its desire to provide a reliably high level of privacy. It's kept its users safe while Chrome, Brave and other browsers' users were vulnerable.
