Is uBlock Origin Scope safe?
uBlock Origin Scope monitors and displays all remote server connections made by each browser tab, storing results locally in session storage.
The extension intercepts network requests for every tab using the webRequest API and categorises each connection as allowed, blocked, or redirected. Results are shown in a popup panel listing the remote domains contacted, along with page load timing metrics. All data is kept in browser session storage and is never transmitted to external servers.
