Did this also affect the Mac Chrome version of this extension?

I just checked a few minutes ago and I'm on version 3.39.5. I was never asked to escalate privileges when I assume it was at affected version 3.39.4 beforehand.

Or maybe I was just lucky and didn't use Chrome during that brief window that the extension was compromised since Safari is my main browser?
