Good point,

Alot off people just install anything that pops on any window.

About Google Chrome ext, you dont have to worry.

All your searches are kept by the search engines anyway, attached to that historie is your IP.

They do keep your browsing history, but so does AOL, YAHOO, BING, etcIs it risky to install a google chrome extension?
AdBlock is a safe Chrome extension, assuming you did get it from Chrome's extension gallery. When you installed it, it already displayed that it has access to your info, and you chose to install it. This is just an update. If you are really worried about it, uninstall. But it's really no big deal.
