It's open source, just read it and use the source-code release https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl

Is it possible to validate what I am running in browser is an unaltered version of what is there in Github?

Otherwise, I will have to trust the package author to not be malicious.

Another option might be to personally package and sideload the extension which I don't know how.

Yes, that's what I meant! It's very easy to sideload.

Tridactyl exists in the Arch community repos [1] if you would rather use that; you're effectively shifting your trust to an Arch trusted user away from some random person (me) and Mozilla.
