Since it is from the App store a reasonable expectation would be that it is safe.
Since a lot of scam software has been, and some still is, on the app store, that would not be a safe assumption.
But to answer the question from OP, it should be safe. As far as I know it doesn't send data out of your Mac, it just needs to be able to access the pages in order to reskin them into dark mode.
This extension would be able to read and
modify web pages and access your browsing
history on this website. This
could include sensitive data,
including passwords, phone numbers and credit
phone numbers and credit cards.
Yes, but that is just a standard message that Apple puts up for when an app accesses a web page. It doesn't mean that they are accessing all that (see the could) or doing anything with it other than modifying the page to display it in dark mode. 👎This extension would be able to read and

🙄 Epic Fail!Didn't say it was perfectly safe or the app store was perfect, just that it is reasonably so. If you want perfection don't download apps (from anywhere).
I would to say thank you for your answers despite the delay of this message.
I am still using this app and find it excellent.
