Note that this extension is offered on GitHub, not the Chrome Extension store, so if you load it from source it'll never be updated unless you update the code.
I do this for any extension I give big permissions. Rather than installing it from the Chrome extension store, I just download its source and 'load unpacked extension' directly. This method is just a roundabout a way to disable Chrome extension updates. (and of course I'm still trusting the extension's code quite a bit, but at least I don't have to worry about it changing)
