I use DDG search as my daily driver. I want to support you and your mission. A simple “buy us a beer” link would probably get me donating/paying. However, this report of your extension adding interruptions to forms has guaranteed I will nevwr install your extension and strongly puts me off even trying your browser. It’s an abuse of the privilege your users grant you and you should stop it. It makes you look like you’re watching your users.

This. It is hard red line for me. Instantly uninstalled.

Wait until you find out how Safari interrupts your forms by default as well!
