While playing with the Chrome ‘dev channel’ and installing an extension we got a bit of a weird warning.

Strange way for Google to word it, don’t you think?

Tried it again and got a different message! I wonder how many there are.

Edited to add – looks like there’s only three of them at the moment – found in the source code:

<message name="IDS_EXTENSION_PROMPT_WARNING_1" desc="Humorous warning displayed in the extension install prompt that tells users that extensions have access to their computer and private data.">
Extensions have access your computer and private data. This means they could forward all your email to your spouse.
</message>
<message name="IDS_EXTENSION_PROMPT_WARNING_2" desc="Humorous warning displayed in the extension install prompt that tells users that extensions have access to their computer and private data.">
