Is it possible to remove this extension without the help of an administrator?

This looks to be malware. It cannot be removed and launches other programs. It seems that virus protection programs like MalwareBytes have yet to come up with a solve for it (at least on my Mac). Needs attention and immediate removal from Google's approved extension list.
