In the case of KeepassXC, you do not need plugins. All of the functionality is contained in the core application.
If you want to use a browser extension to autofill fields in the browser, these are made by the core team also. So they should be trustworthy and secure. In any case nothing is sent over a network. The transfer of a password from the database to the browser is done on your local machine.
If you have doubts, then you can skip using the extensions. You can research it further and inspect the code if you want to have confidence using it.
Obtained my Master's in Computer Science. Love architecture, design, clean implementation and team collaboration. Believe in passing that knowledge on through question answers, docs and readable code.
