You could fork the extension and modify it for your own usage

while true, you can say this about anything which doesn't have any permissions system too. why worry about end-user security, they can just fork and modify.

which means, effectively, that it becomes a 0.001% or worse event. arguably the whole point of privacy-focused (or even -aware) software is to increase that beyond "fork and modify"'s ratio, as far as possible, because it doesn't work in practice for the vast majority of the globe.
