The “how it works” page suggests it only works on chrome based browsers. Anyone able to determine if firefox or safari are affected too?
- pamcake 6mo agoFirefox-based browsers not affected.
- nottorp 6mo agoHmm I opened linkedin in Firefox and ublock origin showed it blocked 4 items... then switched away and back and the counter was up to 12. Is that enough blocking, I wonder?
- tankenmate 6mo agoFirefox uses randomised IDs for installed extensions, so the method highlighted won't work on Firefox. That's not to say they aren't trying other methods on Firefox.
- anticensor 6mo agoAttack surface is narrower on Firefox. WebExtensions without DOM-visible traces cannot be detected.

The code filters out non-chrome browsers: >The extension scan runs only in Chrome-based browsers. The isUserAgentChrome() function checks for “Chrome” in the user agent string. The isBrowser() function excludes server-side rendering environments. If either check fails, the scan does not execute.
