That extension is not limited to privacy and security concerns. One of the sites the extension warns about is Dropbox, and few people would seriously describe Dropbox as inherently insecure or as violating privacy. What is true is that some interactions with Dropbox may be in breach of other existing policies that Googlers must follow, such as wrt. proprietary information and the like. Googlers are also required not to violate labor law.

Dropbox has total access to your unencrypted files. That 100% fits the criteria. Especially in regards to file-access between potentially competing megacorps.

Again with the jumping through hoops...

The application maybe, depending on how you set it up. Not the website itself.

And I’m sure the law firms homepage wasn’t turning people who visit it into antiunion drones either. What’s your point?
