While the code being open is good you still have to rely on trust.
I certainly don’t have the time to review to code of each extension I use. And even then, we have no garanties that the extension distributed through the browser stores has the same code.
You can see the issue was opened on august 18th but the responsible commit was only made on the 19th. So the code was pushed the extension users before it was made available on the repository. Open code is of no help here.
It just showed the developer is not to be trusted.
I agree, there are a bunch of annoying limitations. But it’s better than nothing. To me the best vim based browser is qutebrowser, too bad it’s using chromium.
They do kill uBlock Origin. The Lite version is a different extension.
Yes but that’s not the same. Because of Chrome limitation it can’t update it’s blocklist directly. You have to update the whole extension to update the blocklist and that goes through Google validation in the Chrome store. It adds delay and Google could even refuse some updates. The blocklist is also shorter because not all filter rules are supported.
How does it compare to tridactyl?

He had the book « Le vertige de l’émeute: de la Zad aux Gilets jaunes » (The Vertigo of the Riot: From the ZAD to the Yellow Vests) in his car according to some French article.
But it’s not run in a sandbox. I’m not sure where you get this from.

It build in a sandbox, but it’s not run in a sandbox.
ISP DNS servers often lies, depending on your country, a lot do DNS blocking so it’s a way to evade basic censorship. Also some alternative DNS can lie in useful ways, for adblocking or malware protection. You can also check mullvad DNS.
Ditch oh my zsh, install the plugins directly.
Because zsh is very fast and light. I’m using it with only a handful of plugins, manually installed, and starship
You’re right, I should have explained.
Privacy Badger was known to be able to learn what to block but local learning could be used to fingerprint you so it was removed. Nowadays it’s only a list based blocker, while the list is still automatically generated on their side through learning it mostly overlap with regular tracking protection list used with uBlock Origin.
They also claim other features but they are either outdated (google outgoing link protection last update is 9 months old and is based on the old url schema) or already covered by uBlock Origin (uBlock Origin can now sanitize urls with the removeparam filter, facebook outgoing link protection is included in the “AdGuard URL Tracking Protection” filter list, for third party widget blocking enable the “EasyList – Social Widgets” list).
It’s also in Arkenfox “Don’t bother” extension list.
Better use Firefox in strict mode with uBlock Origin.
In session sanitising seems pretty useless.
Click fraud is a big thing with a lot of countermeasures, it’s not as easy as adnauseum pretends it is. I doubt it does anything.
Privacy Badger is pretty useless now.
