I would never install an extension with a 1000 foot pole, because of its seriously flawed security model. I think in 2026 if you really badly need an extension as an end user, write your own or pay someone to do it. I would also accept open source ones, since I can review the code.

Your extension can and will likely read all your data and likely has broad permissions to just fax all your Gmail to remote cloud server.
