Good find! I've dug a bit and the extension, at least for now, does not send any metadata associated to your browser[1], only a comma separated list of extension IDs. Of course the IP could be easily used.
Looking at the result from the API of one extension I had installed[2], it lists metadata associated to the developer. I've tried to use the `chrome.management.get(id)` Chrome API and it does not return this information, and there does not seem to be a way to get the content of the manifest.json programatically. Therefore, to do the job of the extension as it is, it does need an external source.
