There aren't enough details here to triage this report, but it sounds like the gist of the issue is that, if you install a malware browser extension, or if your PC is infected with malware, that malware can execute spoofing attacks in the browser. 

There's really nothing any browser can do to prevent such attacks; further discussion here: https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/security-faq#TOC-Why-aren-t-physically-local-attacks-in-Chrome-s-threat-model-
