rockettab malware source

I have been receiving spam in my Google search results after some date (it was near 2016-10-28 iirc) and tried to pinpoint the source of the problem.  Disabling all Google Chrome extensions, and re-enabling them one by one revealed the extension to cause this behavior is Facebook Video Downloader 1.9.1.  I am using Chrome extensions with Developer mode activated.

As of now, the extension has been uninstalled and Google searches don’t spam me with annoying and irrelevant stuff anymore.

This is what the RocketTab results in Google Search look like
