I've often wondered what chrome extensions have access to. Is it completely safe to install untrustworthy extensions so long as the user profile is a new one?

Also, I have a wonderful one-liner [1] aliased in ~/.zshrc (opens chrome with a new user profile with one command)

    open -n -a "Google Chrome" --args --user-data-dir=$(mktemp -d)
