Adding another party into my web browsing is always a tough pill for me to swallow. I am also a noob at reading trust signaling. What are some of the reasons that I should trust this dev and their processes?
You should put the same amount of trust in this dev as you should in any other. I myself trust Mozilla's store reviews enough to run the addon, but if you're more conservative with trust, you can inspect the source code and build the addon itself.
The addon comes down to a uBlock Origin fork with different behaviour. I believe most of the addon code is actually the base uBlock code base.
I haven't seen any obvious data exfiltration in my DNS logs, but then again I'm just another random on the internet. If you don't feel comfortable installing something with a privacy impact as broad as an ad blocker, you should definitely trust your instincts.
