One thing I always do is use the Chrome Extension Source Viewer (also an extension)

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-extension-s...

Which lets me view the source code of any chrome extension right from the chrome store install page, lets me see for myself if the extension is going to try to make any covert external web requests or whatever.

Just don't update it?

You can't avoid Chrome extension updates

Pretty easy if you’re a security concerned software engineer. Clone repo, read the source, and Load Unpacked...

Last time I did this it was easier than typing this comment.
