Use of this extension could be a danger if one is using a browser on someone else's computer with this extension enabled.
For example, if you are replacing facebook's login api address with a custom api, all the requests to login along with payload with credential will go to your custom API risking users' credentials.

What does this extension do? Can you please elaborate? I'd love to work on this.

Check the about section of this repository. This is a chrome extension. It allows you to redirect the requests from one address to another. This can mostly be classified as a dev utility. Although as the problem in this issue description states, it can be used in an evil way too. Another good application to this would be redirect the advertisement URLs to another so you never actually get ads on the pages you visit, say youtube!
