You don't even need to do all that, just use https://robwu.nl/crxviewer/

and insert the URL of the extension, for example https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/decentraleyes... .

This may be fine, but do note that you're inserting an extra layer that you have to trust compared to inspecting the source that you know is on your local disk.

Should they choose to, nothing stops the site you've linked from masking malicious tidbits in code you request.
