Browser extensions/addons are about as "closed source" as websites, or even less so in most cases (let's ignore wasm-powered websites or extensions for a second). Not linking to a GitHub repository doesn't mean it's "closed source"; conversely, linking to a GitHub repository is no guarantee that what you're getting is what's being linked to, or the extension won't be compromised in a future update.
