MODERATORS
Extensions are a huge security risk not to mention increases your chances of being fingerprinted
Does it really matter if the extension is open source?
Yes, the fewer people I have to trust with my data the better.
Only in some cases. This extension for example isn't fingerprintable. You would need to control the site from where u open Reddit for example by clicking a link + control reddit to test if connect to this site. And even this is not a goo methode + common fingerprinting protections will prevent this.
