Why has the WoT add on been removed from Mozilla Firefox store
Today I tried to download the WoT add on, but it is missing. I've seen some false allegations flying around that also state Mozilla removed it due to privacy issues. Can Mozilla please give the real reason for this?

Indeed, add-ons such as userscript managers have a legitimate need for code execution. But WOT does not need this ability, and definitely not the ability to run remote code anywhere, including about: pages (such as about:preferences). That power enables WOT to seize control of a computer if they wanted to, so the add-on (versions 20090918 until 20151208) should be blacklisted. Once they upload a new version without this "feature", we can reconsider listing the add-on.Đọc câu trả lời này trong ngữ cảnh 👍 7
