It seems sketchy at first glance, but then you pair that with what the addon is actually doing: - Access your data for all websites (anything that interacts with ads, including blockers, will need this) - Download files and read and modify the browser’s download history (these two items are single entitlement in firefox, and provides the ability for AN to store the images for ads it clicks on. You get this nice mosaic view of all the ads its clicked, as well as a running total how much click revenue you've burned) - Monitor extension usage and manage themes (checks if any other incompatible ad blockers installed and notifies the users) - Access browser tabs (I'm not 100% sure what this one does, but you've already given it full access to everything on every page anyways.) - Access browser activity during navigation (Killing popups) The addon itself is GPL3, so I think there's a very low likelihood of shenanigans here. Also compare and contrast with uBlock Origin: - Access your data for all websites - Read and modify privacy settings - Access browser tabs - Access browser activity during navigation
