Extensions on x.com may cause issues when related to privacy settings.

Infact verdict: Mostly True (75/100).

The privacy issues related to browser extensions are often due to permissions overreach, insufficient privacy controls, and potential data collection without clear user consent. Privacy-focused extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger can mitigate some of these problems by blocking trackers and ensuring data privacy. However, some extensions may negatively impact browser performance if not properly configured or if they request excessive permissions.
