Depends what we are talking about, if it's unintentional security issues, the store review is good for that. If the author is trying to put malware in the extension, you have so many ways to hide it that it's pretty much guaranteed they won't catch it. That's why I trust much more the sandboxing capabilities than the store review.

Nobody has found a decent way to do fine grained permissions for extensions yet and it's made much harder (compared to say mobile apps) when many extensions need to read/modify data on any web domain. The ominous "Access your data on all web sites" permission is required by uBlock for example because there's nothing more fine grained that will let it block the network requests it's checking for.
