Hi. 

I couldn't find any contact info on https://gnuzilla.gnu.org/mozzarella
so I'll ask here.

I tried for few minutes the extension Ghostery and it connected back to
several services (like collector-hpn.ghostery.net) . I am not sure
whether I can opt out, and honestly it does not matter because this is
tricky for users, and it should be the other way around: ask users to
opt in instead.

I did not investigate the content of the transmissions.
Their privacy policy in all its magnificent length suffices and tells
us that something is fishy:
https://www.ghostery.com/privacy-policy

After a simple search I also found out that the business model of the
company providing the extension is selling user data to advertisers...
...yeah I kinda expected it though.

Isn't this a scammy extension?

What is this doing on Mozzarella? I expected Mozzarella to be a curated
collection of extensions. However, this, unfortunately, does not seem
the case.

Another question:

I was wondering if it could be possible on the mozzarella website to
add, in the details of the extensions, 
- - whether or not the extension phones homes, 
- - whether or not the extension needs downloading except   
from https://addons.mozilla.org and 
- - if it contacts third parties.

This would enormously help me and others, I imagine, in deciding
whether or not to use an extension, like in this case.

Thanks in advance,
Chippy.
