- AugustoCAS 3y agoThanks for the tip! For a while I've been thinking of setting a VM that navigates the interwebs clicking on random links to generate tracking noise. I need to find out how to do that :D.
- readingnews 3y agoI love the idea after reading the site, this line, however, scares me about the addon: Access your data for all websites
- Nextgrid 3y agoIt needs access to all websites' data as it needs to see & interact with the tabs to be able to detect & simulate clicks on those ads.
- dax_ 3y agouBlock Origin has the same requirement. Basically, to block ads on any website, it needs access to the data on any website. The wording of the permission is a bit weird maybe.
- the_snooze 3y agoYeah, it's a catch-all permission that says the extension wants to examine the DOM and HTTP requests. Absolutely necessary for any browser-based ad blocking.
- aaomidi 3y agoIt kinda has to do that to be able to click on the ads.
