Oh god, uBlock or privacy badger needs to do this

While funny, the whole idea of tracking your data enough to give you a wrapped kind of goes completely against everything these extensions are supposed to do.

My suggested alternative is you click the wrapped button and it just says:

"Fucked if I know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

But it does say right on that page:

Take note that the network request logger in uBO is a forward-looking logger: this means only future requests can be logged.

In the spirit of efficiency, uBO will log entries IF AND ONLY IF the logger is opened. Otherwise, if the logger is not opened, no CPU/memory resources are consumed by uBO for logging purpose.
