Video Ad-Block, for Twitch still safe to use?

The extension was updated yesterday and chrome now asks if the extension can have complete access to amazon.uk website. Curios about the change I tried looking up the changes but the GitHub page ( https://github.com/saucettv/VideoAdBlockForTwitch) has been removed since yesterday (Google webcache shows a version from yesterday) and the extension description still only states it needs access to twitch.com address only.

Just don't want this change to have any effect on me browsing amazon now (Injecting referral links and what not could be possible)

Edit:

Someone on the support page of the chrome extension is claiming that the extension now adds referral links to amazon

Edit #2:

If anyone wants to check the current code themselves the files can be found here:

%localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\kgeglempfkhalebjlogemlmeakondflc\5.3.4_0
