If you are I wanted to say thank you first. And get your opinion on a couple of things.

This is my reply on your review:
Heath I'm so glad there are people taking the issue of malicious extensions seriously. Thanks for writing your guide up. I've found that virustotal doesn't really detect malicious extensions - have you found it does? And when decompiling the code how have you managed the issue of obfuscation? Or where the extension begins malicious activity a set number of weeks after installing? Would love to get your thoughts...

I've been working on two things (which is based off other peoples work too): https://github.com/nicoleahmed/malicious-extensions-list - compiling a list of malicious extensions so people can check they aren't affected https://github.com/nicoleahmed/ChromeWebStoreSorter a bookmarklet to sort chrome store results - most ratings at top
