Very interesting if true. I'm tempted to build an extension just to check that. I wonder if a DOM mutation event would be triggered if a content script adds a new link element and changes it's href. Would I be able to catch that a

Good point, but that's assuming you're running in the context of the popup and not in the context of a content script. In the popup's script, you are using a new DOM. But in a content script - you're using the same DOM a

I don't think letting a stranger enter your building / yard is less of a privacy / danger / noise concern. As for: "non-critical stuff" - is that really up to you decide for others what's critical for them
