Mozilla disabled & hazed uBlock Origin Lite off Firefox's extension store
This is surprising given that Mozilla is supposed to be in favor of privacy. And it's among the most popular extensions, which then raises the question of what the purpose of Mozilla's store is.
According to the dev (Raymond Hill), they wrote pages of "baseless" complaints, including:
"For add-ons that collect or transmit user data, the user must be informed and provided with a clear and easy way to control this data collection"
Now Raymond Hill had to move it to Github for updates. As far as we can tell, the original non-lite extension remains.
