What access to the FLoC APIs will chrome extensions have?

Can a browser extension read a user FLoC?

Can a browser extension overwrite a users FLoC?

This seems to be related to issue #17. Though not technically a duplicate.

A browser extension can inject javascript into pages that the user visits and therefore read the value. An extension could also overwrite the document.interestCohort() API and return a different value.
