So if you do have extension for security and privacy you should wait for the patch to happen instead of undermining you security. On the sites I frequent, I'd rather not see the ads. Should be temporary, this

We don't yet know how broadly affected the user base is. This seems like an urgent matter we want to get fixed as quickly as possible, at a high cost if necessary. </quote>
