This is basically why I only install a few extensions from trusted developers such as Google, EFF, and uBlock. Google tracks me anyway, EFF doesn't track me and it would destroy their reputation if they chose to start tracking, and uBlock Origin is the only popular remaining adblock extension which hasn't sold out (yet).
Edit: uBlock Origin is the one that doesn't suck, uBlock is to be avoided.
- hartator 11y agouBlock origin, beware of uBlock.
- melted 11y agoYes, uBlock Origin, goes without saying.
- jokoon 11y agoI've read the difference, ublock doesn't seem very harmful, would I should I be wary ? Is it just because it's not free on ios or something ?
- tim333 11y agoIt's a question of the character of the people running the thing. The ublock guy seems a bit sketchier than the ublock origin guy.
- jkot 11y agoI would not trust adblock extensions. /etc/hosts works just fine.
- tim333 11y agoThe thing that worries me is extensions being able to grab my passwords. If my Lastpass extension can do it then presumably malicious extensions can too.
