Extension blocked by MalwareBytes extension...Firefox controversy....

Firefox introduced blocking cross-site-trackers:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/trackers-and-scripts-firefox-blocks-enhanced-track#w_social-media-trackers
What is being blocked inside the browser can be found here:
https://disconnect.me/trackerprotection#trackers-we-block
For the Dicsonnect browser extension I get a MalwareBytes extension alert as:
Trying to download File blocked: blob:-https://obfuscator.io/9d519935-84da-4447-87f7-67a5613d4525
Possible suspicious activity encompasses a variety of behaviors that are commonly attributed to technical support scams, cryptojacking, browser hijacking, and other types of harmful, risky, and potentially unwanted objects.
Why is this. Has Firefox given up on tracker neutrality even for the Big Boys?
I thought they were Google sponsored?

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.
Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!
