Can we somehow have a look at the source code of the extension ? Without a doubt installing any chrome plugins can put your browsing activities to risk from data breach to wallet hacks.Making the source code open to public may be a nice way to show that it's all legit.
As long as it's proven to be fully secure, I'm not going to download it.

How will I know if this is not going to rob my bitcointalk account?
I checked the extension source code and looks like there is nothing wrong with it.
But you shouldn't trust me aswell. So if you want, you can check everything by yourself with this "Chrome extension source viewer" extension[1].
The way it works is very simple. Here is the source code:
var months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Ago', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];
var base = 1510080000;
var delta = 1210000;
var span;
function formatDate(d) {
return d.getDate() + " " + months[d.getMonth()] + ' ' + d.getFullYear();
}
function diff(d) {
d = Math.floor(d);
if (d > 172800) {
return Math.floor(d / 86400) + ' days'
} else if (d > 7200) {
return Math.floor(d / 3600) + ' hours'
} else if (d > 120) {
return Math.floor(d / 60) + ' minutes'
} else {
return d + ' seconds'
}
}
function setup() {
var coll = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[1].rows[0].cells;
var dObj = coll[coll.length - 1].children[0];
dObj.innerHTML += ' ';
span = document.getElementById('sp_btt_ext');
}
function main() {
var elapsed = new Date() / 1000;
var previous = Math.floor((elapsed - base) / delta) * delta + base;
var next = previous + delta;
var perc = (elapsed - previous) / delta;
var dPrev = new Date(previous * 1000);
var dNext = new Date(next * 1000);
span.title = 'Current period started ' + formatDate(dPrev) + ' (' + diff(elapsed - previous) + ' ago)\nNext period starts ' + formatDate(dNext) + ' (in ' + diff(next - elapsed) + ')';
span.innerHTML = (perc * 100)
.toFixed(2) + '%';
}
setup();
main();
window.setInterval(main, 1000);
