> It is very wrong for the extension to change ownership without warning the user about it. I trusted the original developer of this extension, but i do not trust Avast.

I don't see the logic here. Unless Avast had threatened him, I wouldn't trust neither of the parties. How do you trust someone that sells their extension to someone you don't trust and still trust them?



Avast has a well-documented history of selling people's browser data. Random Developer #155767 does not, and is therefore more trustworthy.


The trust is in the fact that Firefox has proofread the extension. It is marked as "Recommended".
