What about useful things like ghostery and uMatrix?
- tonymet 6y agoI keep a “temp” browser profile (chrome —> settings —> add user profile) and install extensions there. That way you can use ghostery on specific sites and it has no access to your important data from your main profile
- tonymet 6y agoThey both have full access. some may say “do you trust these publishers” – but the way extensions are designed, there’s no way to trust them. You have to be extremely vigilant and inspect the code every time the extension updates, and you aren’t notified when there are updates. I wouldn’t install any extension permanently. I only keep Lastpass and it’s disabled until it’s needed for login.
- sizzle 6y agoso we should accept website analytics/tracking scripts that potentially are recording every click and cursor movement under the guise of user research?
