used to be great 6 months a go i noticed in BlueSky and some other sites the addon itself created popup notification, to open or not to open a new tab with a link is hovered disabling the add on, there's no popups to begin with very strange behavior, i never thought it was the addon at 1st (this is the 5th month now) but i disabled all addons and enabled them 1 by one...
