You likely misread the sentence. It doesn't say "To learn more, download and install the free browser extension:" - it says, "To learn more, or to download and install the free browser extension:" and then provides you with links to the stores that contain the description for the extension:

> Websites have increasingly begun to rely much more on large third-parties for content delivery. Canceling requests for ads or trackers is usually without issue, however blocking actual content, not unexpectedly, breaks pages. The aim of this add-on is to cut out the middleman by providing lightning speed delivery of local (bundled) files to improve online privacy.

I agree that it's a very weird frontpage and means of describing an extension, but you don't need to run their code before reading what the extension does.

Thanks for clarifying for me. Updated my post.

Yeah, a little oddly worded. It's basically saying visit the Firefox/Chrome store to either download OR find out more about the add-on. I'm not sure why the website I'm on can't tell me more about it.. But I agree with the other poster in that you parsed the sentence incorrectly.

Agreed, I updated my post.

Yeah exactly... It just says how to install it. Not what it is or why it should want it ;)

It should have a description on their own site, not rely on one in an app store. I wouldn't even click on that until I'm convinced I want it.

In fact I didn't, I saw the page, was like "???" and then went to the comments here to read what this was about ;)

But yeah I always wondered what Google does with all these calls to the javascript libraries they're hosting... I bet they milk them for data somehow. It's a good effort but I'm not sure I'll install it as I already have so many plugins in Firefox that it constantly complains about slow startup.
