Wow, FF is sniffing the content and changing words.

Could not think of anything worse a web browser could do.

Do they change political arguments on pages in the future to see how I react in a user study?

That's ridiculous, since FF is literally fetching and rendering that content, being its raison d'être.

You can't "sniff" what is already yours to begin with.


Sniff implies sending. It's the scanned content transportation and destination that's the issue.


There's no sending involved with this add-on.
