Comment on Think Twice Before Installing Any Chrome Extensionparent

Ah yes, but how can I trust that "Extension Gallery and Web Store Inspector" is safe to install?

I'm not sure how you can download an extension before installing but in Ubuntu after you've installed it you can look at the source under ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/ (or in Windows C:\Users\You\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User)

You can inspect it too
