Greetings @machy92,
We basically have no control, Brave have taken on full responsibility for downloading new versions as needed and they build these into the browser. I have no reason to believe you cannot trust the extension and to be fair there is no gain from them tampering with it. As they control the browser if they were going to do anything bad there will be much more effective ways of doing so rather than tampering with our extension. Our security guru Jeffery Goldberg is positive towards Brave so for that reason alone I have no reason to distrust them.
Brave isn't my day-to-day browser though so I can't speak much about it. That isn't meant to be taken negatively or positively, just that I cannot speak confidently about it. If there were real concerns about the browser though we would have the 1Password client refuse any connection coming from it.
