Worth knowing about, but:

Major point:  There are better, more-systemic, tools for stopping
trackers, Javascript-based and otherwise.  Good, open-source ones
maintained by communities not heavily in conflict of interest.

Minor point:  Seriously?  I'm going to install a black-box proprietary
extension into my browser to deal with a privacy breach caused by a 
corporation, where the black-box proprietary extension is from that same
corporation?  Fox, meet henhouse.
