@funcrunch Well, you could always uninstall it if it's not really doing anything useful for you. Firefox doesn't come with any extensions pre-installed, not unless you got a "repackaged" version from a third-party distributor, so uninstalling any extension you don't find useful enough is a fair thing to try.
uBlock Origin is the one browser extension I'd most recommend to everyone (well, unless you're using a browser that has equivalent blocking capabilities built in), but other than that you can kinda take em or leave em.

@diazona As I mentioned in the original review, I only noticed after disabling the DuckDuckGo extension that it had been blocking ads on a number of other pages I visit, which I did find useful, so currently I'm just disabling it while I'm on the 404 Media site. I also have Firefox's built-in Enhanced Tracking Protection, which unlike the DuckDuckGo extension I can easily designate per-site whether it's on or not.
