I think we should always be worried when installing even open source tools that are injected within operating system functions, especially tools that pull in many external libraries. It adds to the threat surface area.

However, in this case, this tool will hopefully mitigate that risk and, as you said, the creator of the OS is actually a threat too (by leaving their OS vulnerable in order to facilitate their ad business).
