Just curious if these kind of browser plug-in can do any harm like a typical spyware. Like, can it run in the background without you clicking it, and secretly phone home with your login/password?

I'm sure Readibility is a good one based on popularity and user reviews. Just a question in general and how cautious I need to be with other add-ons down the road. Thanks.
They are just extensions not programs. It's just a script written in javascript. I always read the feedback on extensions before I install them. You can learn alot that way. I use FireFox for years and have never encounter issues. Now I have Chrome but only a few extensions installed on it but I read the feedback before I install what I do have. You should be fine as long as you read the details page of the extension and the feedback before installing.
