I just discovered that an extension called "Online-Offline MS Paint Tool" on Chrome is actually malware, so I removed it. I ran Windows Defender, and it didn't find anything unusual. Is there any other steps I should take to make sure my computer is completely safe?

Honestly, after removing that extension and running Defender, you should be all set. Just keep an eye on your credit card info and accounts in case anything slips through the cracks. But running a scan with Malwarebytes wouldn't hurt if you want extra peace of mind.
It sounds like you're on the right track by removing the extension and using Windows Defender. You can relax a bit after that, but if you're feeling unsure, you might want to take extra precautions. Many users recommend installing Malwarebytes for a second opinion. You can run it, check for any lingering issues, and then uninstall it if all looks good.
Is there a chance it was a keylogger that stole my credit card info? Should I do anything else?
