I'm still a little confused as to what the code was doing, though. It gathers statistics about your user machine (none of which seemed too personal - basically IP, OS, country, etc).
But then what is it doing? Opening a virtual browser or simulating clicks to some ad network?
Anyone who does not like it, please uninstall this plugin.
I will not explain it anymore.
I'm not interested in stealing your privacy.

Any other scenario means that they intentionally and secretly included code into their compiled binaries which posed a security and privacy risk.

Uh huh. If it was such a benign use, why wasn't it in the repository, or mentioned in the marketplace page?
I guess it might be keeping the black stuff for some cool down time just after installation. Many malware seem to do there days. We might have got true clicks targeted.
It's nice to see the community stepping in to "fix" the situation.
