Some of the spiciest:

* Anti-Zionist Tag (directly inferring political opinion)

* PordaAI (Islamic content filter)

* simplify (browsergate.eu specifically called out as a neurodivergent accessibility tool. Job search autofill that markets itself as particularly useful for people who struggle with forms)

* No more Musk ("Hides digital noise related to Elon Musk")

* Political Circus ("Politician -> Clown AI Filter")

* Job application trackers and utils ("Job Follow-Up Tracker" etc)

* Various "Distraction Blocker" type addons

LinkedIn scanning for tools that scrape LinkedIn:

* LinkedIn Cookie Sync for Headhunting Agent

* LinkedIn Cookie importer for Derrick (lol "for Derrick")

*NOT* in the list, if you were wondering:

* Shinigami Eyes

* Dark Reader

* Adblockers

* Password managers

* FoxyProxy

* User-Agent spoofers, request modification tools, etc

* Most privacy/security tools (no uBO, no Privacy Badger, no FoxyProxy, no NoScript, etc.

For the latter category, the most interesting things there we found *were* searched-for are BuiltWith Technology Profiler, and some browser addons bundled from scanners (e.g. "Malwarebytes Browser Guard Beta").

Enumerated a full list.

Care to provide a source for your claims about Signal?

It's more the chance of an unexpected breaking change. When you use a package manager, you're expecting stuff to change (and get to review what's changing).

Upgrading manually regularly: Good idea.

Having a cronjob to do it automatically without user intervention: Bad idea.

Vans labelled "TV Detector Van". Which are actually minibuses which drop off people who peek through windows.

Emacs tutorials can be one line: "ctrl-x ctrl-c".

Blindly letting anything auto-update.

Either the second or third time it lost all my tabs was when I stopped trusting it.
