Just downloaded and it works great. Only desirable feature I would like is the option to open the source in another tab. Android OS.

Extension safety

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.

Toggle View Source requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
