I don’t like the idea that I’ll be vulnerable without it but I also feel like I’m vulnerable with it. I do use YouTube on my laptop here and there which I do appreciate uBlock Origin for, but again, I mostly use my phone for YouTube. I’m also starting to think I don’t really need it in the first place because the only thing I really use my laptop for is Google docs, gaming, and Discord. And well, if I don’t trust something about the extension, surely I should think twice about using it, right? I found the privacy policy and saw that they don’t collect any data which did help quell some of my fears, but at the same time, I don’t really jive with how under permissions it says that it can “change privacy related settings”.

My main concern, if you couldn’t tell, is whether it collects your data like passwords or not. I know this question probably gets asked a million times on this sub, but is uBlock Origin safe? I’ve been using it for a while now and haven’t thought anything of it, but at this current moment I’m like a click away from uninstalling it and changing all my passwords out of paranoia.
