How can I be assured that installing a random Chrome extension from a random person on the internet that has access to all my network data and can't get approved in the Chrome store is safe? :)
Here the actual code of the extension is basically 2 files, one of 114 lines and the other 66. Plain js, easy to digest. Looks pretty safe.
Also, plenty of these extensions have been acquired by data firms or other sketchy places to then add your browser to botnets. If these are absolutely necessary for you, I highly recommend downloading the source and dumping it into Chrome/Edge via developer mode. At least then you know they can't update it in the background and you know what you're running.
