As a Firefox extension user myself, it is pretty crazy what permissions we allow from them. Even with something like uBlock Origin, which I'm sure a lot of people here use, one of the permissions you have to accept is literally "Access your data for all websites". Why are we okay with that?

Well, the alternative is static filter lists like in Safari, which results in a worse experience.

I trust gorhill much more than I trust random ad delivery networks trying to possibly exploit zero-day vulnerabilities.
