Good fun and cool add-on. Dev helps with what users can do themselves too with some userChrome (if Mozilla doesn't decide to ignore your settings). Having a search bar on there with your specific preferred search provider would make it even be cooler, but that might just be me.

Is Matrix New Tab Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. 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.
Matrix New Tab requires very minimum permissions.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious.
