Safe to use a browser installed from AUR? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I'm thinking about switching to a Firefox fork as a web browser. Apart from Tor, they're all on AUR. I can't use Tor all the time.

Do you consider that a security risk that's worth worrying about? E.g. you could get a dodgy maintainer putting malware in it, as least theoretically.

Basically you're asking if it's safe to install anything from AUR, and there are answers to that aplenty.
