This causes issues in webpage loading as the website or webpage loads in broken HTML format. If you have used it, then site loading causing issues and browser acts heavy in task manager and device starts to make noise. And if you disable it or uninstall it, then site loading and elements loads in broken format before taking over a min to load properly. Plus with Firefox browsers and Gecko-based browsers like Floorp browser, Zen browser, Waterfox, Librewolf, Iceraven, Mull, Fenix and versions over 130, this addon causes too many issues in site functionality. I request dev to update it for desktop and mobile users. Thanks.
