- scarface74 8y agoAnd that’s only because it’s not in Google’s best interest to provide a framework that allows users to install ad blockers in a way where the extension doesn’t have access to the user’s browsing. Safari’s content blocking framework provides an existence proof that it can be done. Extensions just give Safari a JSON file with regex expressions of content that should be blocked.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoYou should mostly just assume all the browser extensions have access to everything you look at. Most do. ;) I'm similar to the parent comment but my sole extension is the EFF's Privacy Badger. Yes, I'm trusting the EFF with access to everything I view, but they are in turn, blocking tracking data from nearly everyone else. I may soon drop Privacy Badger though, Firefox's built-in tracking protection has inched closer and closer to that tier.
