| May 20, 2015 at 23:12 | comment | added | celicni | Thank you for you comment. As I said, I don't have any reason to not trust this extension. I am aware that the code is open source and thus can be examined (and in original question I said so). However, as a contributor, could you comment the issue of auto-update? I mentioned it in my comment to the accepted answer: "It seems that you can't disable auto-update for this add-on, so even complete code survey for one version does not mean much.. you'd have to read the diffs after each update." | |

| Nov 1, 2013 at 14:58 | comment | added | Lekensteyn | You can use Rob W's Chrome extension source viewer to check the code before installing. It is possible that the source code of an extension does not match the published source repository (example described by Rob). | |
