On the settings page of the extension, I got a popup to allow "ib.adnxs.com" access to browsing data. What is this?

ib.adnxs.com is AppNexus/Xandr's ad network domain. This popup likely appears when the extension detects the domain trying to access your data and is prompting you whether to block it, not requesting permission for itself.
