That's how that add-on works. It would be the same if you install it on Desktop and have webxr.today as the default page. We can't add exceptions to the addon at install time so there is not much that we can do about it. The user would need to allow the site in the add-on settings.

@keianhzo I understand your point of view. What I took in consideration is also the fact that a user might not be sure how to add it to exceptions and that is not certain which add-on could cause this in the case of multiple add-ons installed. This consideration can be balanced on how much a user uses the content from Homepage and also if we consider that we want to have our content always displayed.

On a second matter, after further investigation, it seems that the add-on also blocks other content that we provide, if not added to exceptions of course. For example "Hello WebXR", "Hubs". Here is a video.

@keianhzo @emstanley , could this issue also be a case in where we inform users that don't know the add-on's functionality blocks some content until the website is manually added to exceptions or disabled/removed?
We discussed in our meeting about adding issue #3795 for the "Dark Reader" add-on into a "known issues" base, when if a user might encounter it should know what the next steps are in resolving it.
