These extensions work first by looking at the contents of the page you're on to detect a paywall, and then make modifications to the page that remove the paywall. There's no way for the browser-creators to guarantee that the extension isn't also silently adding a hidden element that captures everything that you type into that website, in addition to the paywal removal, so they're basically trying to warn you such a thing could happen.

And that is a genuine risk from every extension in the addons store, but I would say that risk is potentially even higher with a piracy extension installed from a github relese. (Not this one in particular per se, which I have no opinion about, just in general.) If it makes you uncomfortable, a reasonable compromise could be to create a new browser profile for use only with this extension, or maybe even use a different browser entirely than your daily driver.

This isn't that complicated. Imagine what would have happened in Iraq or Afghanistan if the president was an intelligence asset they had cultivated for decades. Not to mention tons of senators, represntatives, and influential NGOs like the NRA. Also all those social media psyops that are disappointingly effective at sowing division in the US.

Russia has an incredible amount of influence in the US and is still getting wolloped, although not nearly as much or as quickly as they should/could be.

You get little guys like this in Carrier Command 2. Except they're amphibious too!
