[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 876418, member: 71262"] I don't know how you test the trustworthiness of the developer. It is recommended by FF, as you pointed out, and it has folks who have opened issues. And probably enough users with enough technical knowledge to have vetted it generally, though not a huge number of total users. I think you maybe are over-cautious. If you aren't comfortable using it, stick to very popular extensions. You don't say how much CPU it is using but there may be a couple of reasons you are experiencing this: 1. It checks periodically for rule updates which may use more CPU, though I haven't ever noticed it. 2. There is an issue that is 7 months old which you can check out [URL='https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls/-/issues/256']Issue #256[/URL] . There you will read that a likely culprit may be a conflict with another extension, which you may check for yourself. As with anything related to computers, my technical knowledge is limited but this is my take on the subject. [/QUOTE]
