It supports both links and embeds and is available on firefox for android. List of sites is on github. I'm the main developer so you can ask questions.

The only permission it asks for is blocking.

This permission doesn't mean I can access your data for every site, this is an advantage of manifest v3

Firefox is stricter than chrome in manifest v3 that it provides no way to request host permissions at install time, there is a onboarding page after installation of addon where you can grant permissions to hosts

That never happened for me. Once installed, nothing much happened.
