> If you install this extension, you might actually be making yourself MORE bound to crappy terms of service, since you will not be able to make the case that obviously you didn't read them terms and therefore should not be held to some non-standard provision.

I estimate the likelihood of me ending up in court over a TOS violation extremely low. In the history of the Web, how many times has a consumer been the recipient of a lawsuit over a TOS violation?

However, the likelihood is very high that I will encounter TOS provisions on the Web that are objectionable to me. I would like to know what these provisions are, even if I am forced to click accept because I want to use the service anyway.

I am not a fan of maintaining ignorance for the sake of plausible deniability.
