I would give Force Installing a try - check out the first answer on this link:

This technique worked for me even when clicking Trust didn't. :)

Could it be that you need to use keyboard controls to hit "trust?"

1. Launch System Preferences and open the Keyboard pane.
2. Switch to the Shortcuts tab.
3. Toggle All Controls to selected.
4. Re-attempt to install the extension and use the Tab key on the keyboard to highlight Trust.
5. Press the Space bar key to press the Trust button once selected.

Just wanted to follow up - I made a short and simple video on the force installation process.

Ok, whatever the reason, that worked, this is crazy, thanks a lot, I'm still surprised.

Great! I'll update the installation instructions before closing this issue.

Safari does this to me often. you cant mouse click. you have to press tab and hit space to select Trust

I think this might be related to mouse feature enhancement tools like "MagicPrefs" or "BetterTouch". If you disable those then it should work properly with mouse too.

Just mentioning this here in case someone else stumbles over this quirk. 😄

I just want to provide some more information about the issue. The tab/space shortcut installation method worked ok. I'm using SmoothMouse pref plugin, that might be related to the issue.

When starting Safari from terminal, this is the log when extension tries to install but fails silently:
