Little Rat - a browser extension for monitoring other extensions

"Little Rat is an open-source extension designed for network traffic monitoring. Easily view, monitor, and block traffic from other Chrome extensions on a per-extension basis."

I use it myself and I think it's a very useful extension for everyone who uses more than just few extensions for different purposes and don't fully trust them that they send no data as the developer promises, this extension can monitor the network and act as a firewall per-extension basis.

Download (Lite Version | Can't monitor requests, only block): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/little-rat/oiopkpalpilladnibecobcecijffaflf

Source Code and full version (recommended):
https://github.com/dnakov/little-rat/

(I'm not affliate with the developer in any way and just wanted to share this)

Isn’t piling on browser extensions generally considered bad practice as it increases your attack surface (bad for security) and makes you more easy to fingerprint (bad for privacy)? This seems like a useful tool to use and then uninstall, but if you don’t fully trust something then you shouldn’t really be installing it at all!

Is it so?...

Recommended DNS provider for use in Australia?

I have been using NextDNS over the past two years, and am generally happy with their service. However, I’ve never compared their quality against the other recommended ones (like Control D, Quad 9, Mullvad, etc) particularly in terms of ping. I’m based in Australia. Any fellow Aussies using any of these services and care to...
