I haven't taken the time to look up what the extension was used for, which is my fault, but I would still advise you not to download it. Thats just my personal opinion though.

Even if it's not anything 'malicious' you never know if the coder of the extension has developed a little part in the code where he can view everything for himself. I'm sure the guy doesn't have time to look at everyone's information, but there's still a lot of security issues with that.

I'm sure there are manual ways to do those kinds of things if it just clears your history and cache faster. Which is what I would do instead.
