The problem with browser extensions is... you have to trust them.
- Pulcinella 4y agoI’m sure anyone installing an extension to make it easier to be tracked doesn’t care what the browser extension is doing either.
- Zarel 4y agoThere's a sense in which cookies can't do any harms besides tracking, while a browser extension can do much worse.
- lokedhs 4y agoThis is a fair concern. The particular extension is developed by Aarhus University, which is a major university in Denmark. Not a guarantee it won't do anything bad, but it should give you more comfort than any random extension developer.
- dekelpilli 4y agoThat's a valid concern. This extension is open source [1], if you were to want to see what's happening under the hood. [1] https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic
- jacamera 4y agoThanks for the recommendation! I am indeed sketched out by most extensions that require the all-hosts permission but this one does seem pretty legit so I'll give it a shot.
