I’d be 100% on-board if they changed this from a list of URL’s they define to a list I define. Web extensions sound great until you realize how much power you’re handing to arbitrary code once you allow it reading and writing to the DOM. They can forward anything to anywhere, sandboxing goes out the window

But if you read the related bug reports it is a list that you define, it just can get some defaults from Mozilla.
Defaults matter.

I'd be okay if they had suggestions, but I'm not okay with them blocking extensions on certain websites of their choice by default.
