The amount of data being sent goes beyond what's necessary for the extension to function, especially if you compare to competing solutions such as Google Safe Browsing in Chrome. Now you may make the entire process of internet browsing much easier with this extension attached to your computer.
This has been authorized through a new notion called Bright Policies. In the process, it will collect data that allows containing your entire web browsing history and much of your browsing behavior. Avast net security software have been designed by gurus to make the whole internet browsing experience less dangerous for all users. When you enabled Avast Online Security extension in Firefox, it will request information about your visited websites from an Avast server. So how does these AVG / Avast extensions misused your browser data? Here's a short explanation on this matter. So for existing users these extensions will still be active and continue spying on the users. Mozilla didn’t blacklist the extensions however, stating that they are still talking to Avast. Mozilla immediately disabled the extension listings, so that these extensions can no longer be found on the Mozilla Add-ons site. So yesterday I reported these four extensions to Mozilla and Google. Spying on your users is clearly a violation of the terms that both Google and Mozilla make extension developers sign.
