My questions are:
Does the DuckDuckGo Firefox extension "Privacy Essentials" add a local css file to every visited site?
Can others reproduce this?
Is this harmfull or not?
Background:
I have a simple static one page site with just one html and css file. It's completely tracker free. Debugging it a bit with developer mode (F12) on I discovered a second css file. This file isnt on my webserver but added local.
To pinpoint what caused this I removed every add-on / extension in my browser one by one, reloading and checking my website every time.
Took me a while because didnt expect this one causing it.
To reproduce:
Install the extension from the link.
Open a random site
Check in developer mode the tab Style editor.
Scroll and look for a file named %3Ais(%5Bid*%3D'google_ads_iframe'%5D%.css or something like that.
