the privacy grading is a cool idea and i'd love to have that displayed in my address bar for every site i visit, but bundling it with a "tracker blocker" means that the extension needs full access to all my data on every webpage i visit. i think my privacy is better protected by having one fewer extension installed with such broad permissions.


The add on is bringing in data from Terms of Service, Didn’t Read https://tosdr.org/, so you can always refer to that if you don’t like add ons.


oh, and they have their own add on that doesn't require any access to the page contents. that's exactly what i wanted, thanks!


A good tracker should only be running locally. Ublock origin is just local rules and filters, nothing is being logged or sent anywhere. I'm not sure about this one, however.
