I am very interested in this, thanks for sharing.
Adding another party into my web browsing is always a tough pill for me to swallow. I am also a noob at reading trust signaling. What are some of the reasons that I should trust this dev and their processes?
- danuker 5y agoYou should not trust them. You can download the add-on and inspect it yourself, if you know some JS. Right-clicking yields this URL: https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/585454/adnauseam-3.12.2-an+fx.xpi https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/585454/adna... But it seems to include a lot of code, including some uBlock Origin code. Either way, this kind of sabotage might get you banned on Google. Be mindful of the risks, and have contingency plans.
- jeroenhd 5y agoYou should put the same amount of trust in this dev as you should in any other. I myself trust Mozilla's store reviews enough to run the addon, but if you're more conservative with trust, you can inspect the source code and build the addon itself. The addon comes down to a uBlock Origin fork with different behaviour. I believe most of the addon code is actually the base uBlock code base. I haven't seen any obvious data exfiltration in my DNS logs, but then again I'm just another random on the internet. If you don't feel comfortable installing something with a privacy impact as broad as an ad blocker, you should definitely trust your instincts.
