> 3rd party ads are bad for privacy. But browser extensions are even worse. Nope. I willingly installed a browser extension. Waaay more different than clicking a link to site X and 3rd party injecting itself. > Besides, using this thing result in sending even more data to the advertisers. That's precisely the point?

Between "install X and make your computer download less bloatware" and "don't install X, but publicly name-and-shame websites", the first one requires way less effort from me and provides me with the solution now, not after the social media backlash is big enough for the website owners to give enough of a crap.
