Everything works as I would expect it. I like how the instant translation of a word is solved and that I can quickly jump to extension input box with a shortcut.

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
