uBlock Origin Lite (V3)
..Mozilla says that it has reviewed the extension and found violations. The following claims were made:
The extension is not asking for consent for data collecting.
The extension contains “minified, concatenated or otherwise machine-generated code”.
There is no privacy policy.
As a consequence, Mozilla disabled the extension on the Firefox Add-ons Store…Hill refuted all three claims that Mozilla made on the GitHub repository stating that the extension is not collecting any data, that there is no minified code in uBlock Origin Lite, and that there is a privacy policy…
Mozilla contacted Hill a few days later, likely after the thing blew up everywhere, stating that the “previous decision was incorrect” and that the extension has been restored…
Hill decided to go ahead with the plan to self-host the extension. He removed the extension from Mozilla’s Add-ons repository as a consequence…
When you search for uBlock Origin Lite, you won’t get the extension returned anymore..
* I don’t know if this matters much as Firefox will continue to support uBlock Origin (V2).
