Trustworthiness of dark reader (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've noticed that dark reader on occasion phones home to darkreader.org, also with a increasing amount of sponsored links on their page. So what does everyone think, are they safe right now or should they not be trusted?

Normally it isn't a problem if an app phones home to its homepage, eg, looking for updates. I think that DarkReader is trustworth. But it's anyway good to use the less extensions possible, because they always add a privacy flaw to the browser as any third party app. In Vivaldi instead of the Dark Reader i use the own Dark Mode in flags, it has also an ivert filter, among others, in the Page Actions menu.
