Why would you install this if you already don't trust Google with your data.

If said browser extension actually doesn't track you, this is a non-sequitur.
Hard to argue an extension tracks you if the single only thing it ever does is print "Hello" on top of every page you visit... still that extension would need to be able to access and modify every site you visit by definition.
The exact same thing is happening here.

I suppose it's possible for Google to push new versions of the plugin, so you'd have to review each of them. Does the user even get notified when a new version is pushed?
This plugin makes no sense, any informed user who cares enough about privacy to install would go for a more generic blocker anyway, such as uBlock Origin
No, but the browser (in this case Firefox) is supposed to check the updates before deployment, even if only superficially.
It's also a double-edged sword, because sometimes there's an important update to the add-on that's stuck waiting to be reviewed, making the add-on useless for a couple of days.
> By the Lord before whom this sanctuary is holy, I will to N. be true and faithful, and love all which he loves and shun all which he shuns, according to the laws of God and the order of the world. Nor will I ever with will or action, through word or deed, do anything which is unpleasing to him, on condition that he will hold to me as I shall deserve it, and that he will perform everything as it was in our agreement when I submitted myself to him and chose his will.
