From the permissions in Safari:

> Web Page Contents and Browsing History - Can read and alter sensitive information on web pages, including passwords, phone numbers and credit cards, and see your browsing history on the current tab's web page when you use the extension.

What does it mean for me to use the extension? Am I using it if it is installed?

Installation is the first step, then you must enable it.

If you go to safari settings and enable it there, then you are using it.

I've been puzzled reading previous discussions about Safari where people acted as if it doesn't have good ad-blocking, just because the brand name extension they're familiar with wasn't available. There has been very good ad-blocking available on Safari for a long time (both macOS and iOS) using for example AdGuard.
