Franzia , to technology in Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't

I thought my ISP already had this data and is selling it. Should I go make sure all my extensions are 100% kosher?

Your ISP cannot read https data in transit. Extensions can because the page is now rendered on your local browser.

Franzia ,

Thank you!

To add to the blog post, if you use user scripts, utilize your manager’s blacklist and learn REGEX.

If needed, use Group Policy, Regedit or .plists on macOS to blacklist domains to prevent an extension from running on them. As an example, I use Shutup.css to block comments online, but on something like Lemmy, I want to see comments as that’s primarily how content is created and adding it to my extension domain blacklist prevents the extension from running on the website or any lemmy domains.
