maybe im just paranoid, but a bit wary of installing chrome-ext without a quick perusal of the source. Is this github'ed?

Whether it is or not, chrome extensions are just ZIP files with a .CRX extension - with a quick rename, it should be trivial to unpack and peruse it yourself.
You could look at the source, but it's obfuscated (sorry). Also, it's not github'd (sorry).

If it makes you feel any better, a different extension of mine has 7000+ users and no complaints of evil things being done:
