I could not find any articles with further information on the topic.

There seems to be a fork with tracking removed, but it only has about 2000 downloads, so proceed with caution.

It's got a github link, the repo is owned by someone who looks legit, it's existed for a while, and there probably aren't enough users to tempt anyone into selling it to bad actors. In my view that makes it look about as trustworthy as any unfamiliar extension can, without actually inspecting the source code.

The fork seems to have been around since 2023. Did the spyware version get removed only recently?
