Unwanted extensions packaged and installed by default

Reported by scra...@gmail.com, Jun 19 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Installed Chromium from synaptic and from .deb
2. Checked installed extensions and found a crypto token extension and Chromium pdf viewer, neither from Chrome store
3. Tried to uninstall them or locate them on computer but couldn't find the.

What is the expected behavior?
Browser running slowly so checked for extensions.

What went wrong?
These shouldn't be shipped by default.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 66.0.3359.117-1  Channel: stable
OS Version: Debian
Flash Version: 

Is it me or should these extensions not be there?

These appear to be extensions that are packaged with chrome and implement chrome functionality.

Just to clarify, these packages don't seem to be in Chrome--only Chromium. And why would Chromium package what appears to be a crypto mining extension? Also, the permissions asked by the extensions seem overly reaching.
