I edited my comment here, but the privacy concern with Chameleon stems from its ability to access and modify data on all websites. This access is necessary for the extension to function, as it needs to alter the user agent and other browser settings. Obviously not great when on secure websites.
Thank you for the clarification. Does having it open source and the source code being auditable help mitigate that risk at all or is there something that can still put you at risk of having your information misused from pages loaded with the extension installed?
