The place to ask that question would be the mail list for HTTPS 
everywhere: https://mail1.eff.org/mailman/listinfo/https-everywhere

Safe in the sense that you can trust the people who wrote it not to be 
distributing a trojan?

The EFF is behind it. They are about as trusted on this as anyone.

Most of these question would be better addressed to the HTTPS everywhere 
maillist.
