If there's one website I would never in a million years let a closed-source, venture-backed browser extension inject content into, it's console.aws.amazon.com. What a terrifying thought...

of course, code obfuscation is a thing.
and remember to stop the extension auto-updating (I assume Chrome lets you do so..?) and review any changes.
Why do you believe that? https://github.com/deref/deref-browser-extensions
Chrome extensions don't mirror GitHub source, they can upload whatever they want in the zip file.
