    Default Web Of Trust

    If you use this Browser extension it might be a good idea to ditch it. As a "Web of Trust" .
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    I don't use it and haven't heard of it but thanks for the warning.

    I strongly suspect that many web browsers and their various add-ons do the same thing.

    The collection and sale of data is a very lucrative business these days.

    Well if you are concerned about that, I can't fathom why ppl are not concerned about using Windows 10 and Google.
    They do what this 'web of trust' thing does, only on a MUCH LARGER SCALE.

    Practically everybody does this data mining/selling to third party stuff. The all say they don't identify you, BS!!!
    They have all our privates and know more about what is inside our minds than we do ourselves. What do you think Google assistant and Cortana is for !
    ...and of course they can do what they want with it.

    I seems to me that is the only reason the Internet exists these days.
