Fundamentally there is no reason anyone in their right mind should install an extension released by an individual with these permissions. It is a post-decryption access to every single thing you do online. It is absolutely insane to trust your web browsing to a random browser extension, even a useful one ("cloud to butt" is my favorite example of people deleting their entire security model for a joke).
Anyone can buy out or compromise this developer and slide complete takeover of your online life into an extension update.
