Extension developers - watchout for shady offers to buy/collaborate/help monetize
If you feel like reading a lot, you can see a nice example here: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362 (popular addon is sold to 2 Turkish developers and author is happy that he made money and that someone will continue his project, except they released malware with the first update :D)

Firejail that shit!
Nano-Defender List for uBO, it wasn't great to begin with (based on Reek's Anti-Adblock Killer, which is known to cause issues), but for like half a year ago the project (the list's accompanying Chrome addon to be precise) has been sold to malware distributors: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362

Nano Defender filter list URls are broken, has anyone found a fix? Does anyone know why it's broken?
Forgot to mention the obvious: uninstall now -- with those capabilities, it should be considered malware. Source: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362#issuecomment-709456180

3 Million Google Chrome Users were Infected by Malicious Extensions and More Keep Popping Up
I remember the cases of two addons being hijacked for malware distribution: The Great Suspender and one called Nano Adblocker. At least in the case of the former, not only were the changes not published on github, code had been added to obfuscate debugging through the browser; Code was also added to detect and obfuscate its code if it detected that the user was trying to inspect/debug the addon from within the browser using the developer console. The author of Ublock Origin shares his analysis of that here.

Impossible? Someone Has Drained my Entire Nano S / Ledger Live wallet without Ledger Connected?
Unless you have seen all the data surrounding Ledger Live you wouldn't know. From Malicious Nano Defenders Adblocks designed to infiltrate you and data mine you specifically. Raymond Hill creator of ublock comments here https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362#issuecomment-709428210 ... To leaking all personal data on its customers... their is more obviously.... Run... Final conclusion GUILTY, not only for negligence but intent to isolate target and steal its own customers monies.

https://github.com/LiCybora/NanoDefenderFirefox is the FireFox fork, but the last commit was like in october 2020 so I guess it's safe to assume the project is dead at this point?
