      They had a database breach afaik. Also a Malwarebytes extension will VERY likely compare every URL i.e. track you unnecessarily. There is UBlock Origin, nothing more needed.

        Sounds possible, but do you have evidence?

          Not yet. Functionality looks unnecessary though, as its simply UBlock origin.

          Will have to do a mtim analysis which I dont really see myself doing

    Please don’t use other posts as the URL for your post, it takes people away from their instance to the instance where it’s hosted. It doesn’t affect you because the link is in your local instance, but it affects everyone else.

    Instead, use the same Mozilla URL that your other post used, then Lemmy should identify it and place an instance agnostic cross-post link to your other post.

      Tbf, it’s smarter to fix that in software than ask people to change their behavior.

    You’ve forgotten all those extensions which look for discount codes at checkout on online stores, in think “Honey” was one of them.
