Can you specify which "shady drugs" are these? Because I'm not seeing it. In this particular case, the addon was written by Mozilla employees, and was completely harmless. I don't think Mozilla did well - and I've said so in the original thread - but calling it shady compared to Google ads? That's laughable. DoubleClick is one of the largest malware distribution platforms in history.

Mr. Robot.

Google tells me - "Dude, for providing me your information you get gooodieeeees!"

Mozilla tells me - "We respect your privacy. "

In a micro-font : "except when we do things that you should not be concerned about"
