The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About Stack Overflow Opener

This acts as a simple automation of the Ctrl+Click / Cmd+Click of a StackOverflow link, which is very often visited for coding queries. The Stack Overflow link opened is the first link in the results page of either Google/Bing. The link is opened in a new tab(but does not switch to that tab automatically).
