You're putting a lot of faith in uBlock Origin though. You have to grant it full permissions when you install it. Not at all saying that uBlock Origin is doing anything nefarious, but it certainly could.

I mean, anything you install on your hardware can do something nefarious. Edge is built into Windows, so who knows how deep its permissions can go.

Luckily uBlock Origin is open source and viewable on github, and isn't driven by greed. So I trust it more than Microsoft or any big tech company.

Yeap, everything can do nefarious things.

But, somehow I trust a random dev that refuses to accept donations, even though my cheap ass would definitely donate to him, more than Microsoft, apple and (insert BigTech here)

Well some people are putting a lot of faith in Chrome, which is owned by Google. I don't know which choice is more risky...

I have more faith in gorhill behaving ethically than either of Mozilla, Google, Microsof or Apple, yes.
