Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't

Mozilla prohibits connections to the internet, which aren't necessary for the advertised functionality of an extension. So, these are rather "Chrome extensions" we're talking about...
I wonder how easy it would be to make an extension and fake it's popularity? Make make it intentionally broken or something, so users immediately uninstall it too.
Sounds like an easy $10k, assuming the scammers would actually pay.
If it's free and open source and it's also software, it can be discussed here. Subcommunity of Technology.
