 Mozilla disabled & hazed uBlock Origin Lite off Firefox's extension store

This is surprising given that Mozilla is supposed to be in favor of privacy.  And it's among the most popular extensions, which then raises the question of what the purpose of Mozilla's store is.

According to the dev (Raymond Hill), they wrote pages of "baseless" complaints, including:
"For add-ons that collect or transmit user data, the user must be informed and provided with a clear and easy way to control this data collection"

Now Raymond Hill had to move it to Github for updates.  As far as we can tell, the original non-lite extension remains.

You can learn how to use uBlock Origin from our tutorial:

 false. He choose to move to github for update because he has been pissed off of the mozilla review processes. What happened is that mozilla found, erroneusly, that ublok0 lite was spying on users someway, so removed the last update from the store for more investigations. After some days, the investigations have done and they admitted that was a falso-positive and that they was wrong.
I hate mozilla, but what have you written here is largerly false and bullshit. 
 this contradicts what I read from the dev on the Github linked.  Can you provide documentation to your claims? 
 ok the word "haze" in this case is erroneous review process that sucks his time.

 
 no problem, this is review process someway😅
