Sure, but it does not address the question I have placed for you. Can you name the extension you consider shady? A lot of projects on github are one man operations.

Sure!
Ublock Origin installed from Firefox Extension Web Store. I have no idea how this was verified and distributed. I do not trust webstore as a channel. Also user may easily click on "Unblock" or "Unlock" and get something completely different.
If this extension came from my Linux distro package, or bundled into Firefox binary, I would trust it.
With Brave I have no need to use extensions. Everything is bundled and can be enabled via about:flags.
