Typically if you want to hide the fact you are collecting the browsing secrets of the addon's user, you would use some form of obfuscation (in order to have the addon in good standing by Mozilla and to stop a simple sweep by people like myself who first look for things like http:/https: in the source). Note: Obfuscation is NOT the same as minification, and I don't mean minification when using the word obfuscation!
