Discussion on: Beware of browser extensions that track you everywhere

In my everyday browser I stick to a minimal extension set, Vimium, uBlock Origin and the Shodan plugin.

Years ago I had more but subsequent adblocker wars, malware injection scandals and commercial surveillance has made me cut it down to just these three.

Usually I can get at what I'd want from other extensions by examining scripts or HTTP headers in the terminal instead, commonly with curl, w3m or jq.
