Chrome Extension Question

I am not so familiar with chrome extensions so here’s my questions:
Do they get access to everything I put in to my browser?
How do I know if it’s a safe extension?
Is the mere fact that it’s in the chrome extension strore a reason to assume it’s safe?

Generally if it’s in the chrome store and it has many reviews, you can assume it’s safe. You can also limit the websites extensions can access by going to chrome://extensions and selecting details on the extension you want to limit, there will be options to allow it on only specific websites
