It's difficult to trust the intentions of profit motivated extensions, and the Disconnect website and revenue model seems to be geared towards that. That same article also mentions PrivacyBadger (https://www.eff.org/privacybadger https://www.eff.org/privacybadger) that appears to be less undermined by moneygrubbing.
