These extensions work first by looking at the contents of the page you're on to detect a paywall, and then make modifications to the page that remove the paywall. There's no way for the browser-creators to guarantee that the extension isn't also silently adding a hidden element that captures everything that you type into that website, in addition to the paywal removal, so they're basically trying to warn you such a thing could happen.

And that is a genuine risk from every extension in the addons store, but I would say that risk is potentially even higher with a piracy extension installed from a github relese. (Not this one in particular per se, which I have no opinion about, just in general.) If it makes you uncomfortable, a reasonable compromise could be to create a new browser profile for use only with this extension, or maybe even use a different browser entirely than your daily driver.

The game has a ton of subtle mechanics that it doesn't really go out of its way to tell you about. So there's a degree of mastery and cross-polination of strategy and builds that take advantage of those mechanics between groups, which adds a lot of fun for me. I respect how that's not for everyone though.

This isn't that complicated. Imagine what would have happened in Iraq or Afghanistan if the president was an intelligence asset they had cultivated for decades. Not to mention tons of senators, represntatives, and influential NGOs like the NRA. Also all those social media psyops that are disappointingly effective at sowing division in the US.

Russia has an incredible amount of influence in the US and is still getting wolloped, although not nearly as much or as quickly as they should/could be.

Christ famously used violence to kick who out of his temple again?

we have the technology! They're called virtual tabletops and make for a decent D&D experience.I like https://foundryvtt.com/ personally because of the self hosting and the modding but if nobody in your group is a a computer-type nerd then it might not be the best choice.

also if you want to get into it but nobody in your group has experience, you can find freelance DMs for relatively affordable per-session prices and they might provide a VTT that they want to use
