Since the sole feature of this extension is pretty trivial and can be easily replaced with a bookmark, I would be honestly worried about some "hidden features".

The barely two sentence description and low resolution preview picture also don't inspire much confidence.

actually the source code is here, it is basically one method to override the default new tab behaviour. https://github.com/tarla/random-wikipedia-chrome-extension

Oddly, the only way to change the new tab page is with an extension.

With Firefox, you can add a link to your new tab page (and everybody else's) just by paying Mozilla a hefty sum!
