On Chrome/Edge you can, not sure about Firefox.

Additionally this extension only even asks for permission to access Hacker News and some backend stuff presumably used for the paid tier.

Yes, you're right on asking permissions. I didn't had a site-specific extension so couldn't see them. Unfortunately restricting any extension, if it doesn't restrict itself, is only possible on Chrome and its derivatives.
