I think my issue is that everything about this plugin — from the marketing tie-in, to the rollout, to the effects of the plugin itself once activated — all indicate a complete breakdown of core values. Creating a plugin that modifies content on your screen and injects HTTP headers is egregious enough (just look at the response Comcast got for doing it), but doing it for a TV show tie-in? How did that idea even make it through one round of approvals, much less land on every Firefox user’s machine? Users trust web browsers to deliver the exact content that was requested — that’s why we have gpg signatures, hashsums, and HTTPS. It’s arguably a core tenet of the web. IMO the reaction of the tech community can only be expected in response to such a deep violation of trust.
