Easily disabled if you find it annoying. And if you're self disciplined enough to not turn it off, surely you're self disciplined enough to curb your browsing habits?
A small reminder.. it's easy to end up in scrolling mode.
Even if the extension's source code is available on GitHub, there is no guarantee that the code hosted at addons.mozilla.org corresponds to the same one found on GitHub; and even if I (or someone else) could verify that the code is indeed the same, and that there is nothing malicious in it right now, there is no guarantee this will still be the case in future (silent) updates.
To be clear, this is more of a criticism to Mozilla Firefox's security model, not to this particular extension.
Looks like an interesting extension, but unfortunately I would never install it given that "this add-on can access data for all your websites". As far as I am aware, this means it can read and record all data in all websites I visit (including emails, banks, etc) and record everything I type anywhere (including usernames and passwords). Even if the extension's source code is available on GitHub, there is no guarantee…
I do agree with you though. What is surprising is that technically, this should be fairly easy to solve:
- own the CI system (to make sure the sources match the built versions)
- make sources (the ones that went into build) clearly visible
- disable silent updates

Extensions should be built in Mozilla's servers.
