The cookie theft is also IMHO the most probable scenario. The malicious extension is the only thing that make sense to me.
log out all devices: done
rotate password and 2FA: done
switch to a hardware key/WebAuthn: not done yet
audit browser extensions: done (I'm using only what I think are very "secure" ones: Bypass Paywalls Clean, Control Panel for Twitter , Correcteur d'orthographe et reformulateur — LanguageTool , Google Images Restored, I still don't care about cookies, Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker, Reddit Enhancement Suite, SingleFile , uBlock Origin , Voir image (https://github.com/bijij/ViewImage)
scan the box: done
revoke any third‑party app access tied to Reddit: there are none
Anyhow, thank again!
