Anyone have a browser extension which covers the url input box?
by elcore from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GEP1)
Seen one of those recently, can't recall the name, but it was a multi-platform web extension originating from mozilla addons website.
What it does, well it renders another url input box on top of firefox url bar to disguise itself as a standard url bar.
It's definitely logging, harvesting data and storing it somewhere on some 3rd party server.
What to do about this, and since GDPR was forged, how is it even legal for mozilla to ship this within EU?
It's not really my problem, as I'm not a firefox user and I don't have any such extensions...
Just wondering if something can be done about it before it spreads everywhere and becomes a new trend.
