Why you need such an extension ? What's the point of it when users installs extension only they need. Firefox never forces you to install one and nothing bundled with it by default !

Actually i mean, is anyone here only using dns services like controld, Nextdns, Adguard, etc. just because they show the blocked queries even though you know these dns blockers doesn't do much more than blocking ads + malicious domains (unreliable) and provide parental controls ?

Just a doubt how blocked domains count provide a sense of protection when actually it is really just an illusion. (I believe when trackers are cookies, it is impossible to count them all and modern website have even more trackers than these dns blockers can detect and block).

Also in whotracksme you can see how much trackers in a website when visiting that website you can't see that much connection blocked or even detected.

What are your opinions ? Is this all wrong and the blocked queries actually matter and accurate ?

Removing all bloat (unnecessary connections and telemetry) while still allowed to use the essential features like login, comment, result filtering, etc.
