But then what do you use to monitor and make sure Little Rat isn't sending data to somebody?

It’s easier to fully vet a single extension than several however-complex extensions.
But also, for firefox there’s a recommened label for those that are actively vetted by Mozilla employees.

@mrclark @privacyguides @privacy The extension literally can monitor itself 💀 and you can use something like Portmaster.

Yes but it could just lie and hide it’s own traces.
Portmaster is fine, but you won’t be able to make a difference between requests made by an addon (and know which one) or by a website, so it’s not relevant here.
