Review by Firefox user 17242389
by Firefox user 17242389, 4 years ago
8 months after the first, three star rating:
the add-on has been improved, is now much more stable and works well. Protects the privacy and saves loads of time. There are still sites where the settings need to be updated manually, but not too many and I'm not letting perfect be the enemy of good.
The "old" review: Good idea, but unstable implementation. Some pages hang (e.g. connect.garmin.com, with trust arc), with no way of cancelling the process, the only way is to disable the CoM. There seems to be an option to not run the CoM on a page (a check box "keep running on this site?") but it does not affect the process in any way.
Please fix it and/or provide some way of giving you feedback and learning about fixes.

    I've had this for months and never seen it do anything. Constantly have cookie and privacy policy banners that I have to answer. Constantly clicking the "let us know" that it did nothing.

    Useful extensions. I love that it can keep functionality cookies while disabling marketing cookies, making sites work as they are supposed to work, while not allowing marketing cookies.

    Works great most of the time, however I did notice that it invalidates sessions when attempting to buy tickets on ticketmaster. I was trying to whitelist the domain and it refreshed too fast for me to be able to. The manual rule creation is VERY unintuitive so I am not really sure how to manually whitelist a domain. Also would like to see a temporary disable feature that allows you to turn it off for a few minutes for problematic websites.

    I ended up having to use a different browser for my ticket purchase, but otherwise I love how well it works on most sites.

    Excellent extension! It allows me to automatically reject all cookies without having to click through endless toggles. Love it! ❤️

    I have it on mobile tablet and pc. It work but it's really slow, I am faster on most of the sites but it's useful on someones.

    Works pretty well, some websites it just doesn't do though.

    So far, i couldn't find one page where it would do anything other, than informing me it did something. Every page i've visited asked me about cookies. Good filter list for ublock works way better, at least here in Poland.
    Maybe some day, when they'll support more site.

    This extension lessens my annoyance and saves me time. Who doesn't want that?!

    Handles a small subset of sites. Needs a community filter lists like uBlock.
