Personally use this tool on a daily basis. YMMV wrt the frontends provided, but I use it as my daily driver to help me evade Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube’s tracking of everything I do.

Does it really matter if the extension is open source?

Yes, the fewer people I have to trust with my data the better.

Only in some cases. This extension for example isn’t fingerprintable. You would need to control the site from where u open Reddit for example by clicking a link + control reddit to test if connect to this site. And even this is not a goo methode + common fingerprinting protections will prevent this.
