While I agree that releasing this as an undocumented extension was a poor PR move, in practical terms, I don’t see how this is any more insidious than the ‘no internet’ dinosaur jumping game built in to chrome.

Both are first-party. The difference seems to be that the dinosaur game keeps you entertained, where as this hopes to promote awareness of privacy/security.

The dinosaur was not placed there by a movie studio to promote a random.movie.
