Firefox includes content blocking, so it's not that bad.

No offense but they're not getting inhumane shock treament either if you're going to pull "our stress is holier than thou" and say it's magnitudes higher, I'll be waiting scientific backing on this or else it's just rude... plus they can always just not make me periodically re-install all my addons with no option to just bypass verification... except this time it doesn't work even with the fixes. (Actually, one time I just didn't see it was set to update automatically downgrading one of them. I'm no expert on these issues, really. They just could have asked first in my opinion.) Thanks, Mozillama.

Edit: I had to click "Restart with addons disabled (safe mode)" for those wondering.

What do you mean?

They read your entire page content, they have access to all your information.

But there are free software ad blockers like uBlock Origin.

if uBlock got compromised as an extension even for 1 day, the amount and value of data uBlock can collect will make anyone very very rich.

It's on the level of saving passwords as texts in terms of privacy.

How is it different from any other browser extension? They are all like that, aren't they?

It depends on the permissions: uBlock has permissions to read the entire page on any domain. Some extensions only limit themselves to specific domains, or don't touch that at all.

uBlock still reads your bank website, etc.
