I don't care about cookies by Gen Digital Inc.

by avada, 7 years agoIt breaks websites.
The idea is good, however it seems like it plainly hides the cookie warnings instead of accepting them.
This results in websites that are unusable. You click elements that don't react, you try to scroll but it won't work, etc. You refresh maybe thinking maybe something didn't load correctly, but nothing you do will fix the website, but disabling this addon and accepting the cookie notification.
It caused great frustration initially when I had no idea why can't use a website.
Edit:
@Kiko
Turns out I didn't even have the latest version because for some reason the minimum version is now 57. So in browser updates won't work on v56 that I use.
Edit2:
Now I reported them.

Developer response
posted 7 years agoDid you report those websites? If not, report them, please.
Websites implement cookie warnings in literally tens of thousands of ways, so cathing them all is quite a task.
EDIT: Try now, please. I have enabled support for FF 56, although some (options related) features may not work properly.

- Rated 1 out of 5by stefanw1337, 21 days agoI'm having issues on a site that will not show videos unless you accept cookies. And so I tried this addon, and it didn't work with it enabled. It didn't accept cookies. But when I disabled the addon (I had previously accepted cookies there), and so I had to remove the addon as it didn't do its job!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Diether, 2 months agoDas AddOn nützt nichts mehr. Es blockiert die meisten Webseiten. Nur noch abschalten hilft.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Dominik Adrian Grzywak, 2 months agoThere are issues with some websites. The cookie monit is visually removed, but there's still a layer that blocks me from scrolling and clicking on the whole website.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Boris, 2 months agoUne application QOL de qualité qui malheureusement aujourd’hui manque de suivie et n'est plus aussi efficace que jadis.

- Rated 1 out of 5by St, 5 months agoKeeps getting worse since croatian developer Daniel Kladnik sold the popular "I don't care about cookies" browser extension to Avast (now part of Gen Digital, former Symantec). Many users became wary of their data being handled by a large antivirus/security company, leading to distrust. This prompted the development of alternative, community-driven versions (forks) like "I Still Don't Care About Cookies," available on GitHub and browser stores, to ensure transparency and user control. Users concerned about the acquisition often turn to the open-source forks for a more community-backed solution.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Olivier E., 7 months agoUsed to be a very useful extension coupled with another extension that delete the cookies as soon as I leave a website. However in the past few month I noticed a lot of broken website on Firefox until I realized the issue was this extension...I had to remove it...I'm annoyed to see the banners back but at least I can browse properly.

- Rated 1 out of 5by ab-tools, 7 months agoThis often doesn't work and reporting cookies banners leads to page with database error. Use add-on "I still don't care about cookies" by Guus instead!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Lilith D. Bracken, 8 months agoThis extension makes browsing so much smoother by automatically getting rid of those annoying cookie pop-ups. Almost every site is covered, so you can focus on the content instead of constantly clicking “accept” or “reject.” It works quietly in the background, doesn’t slow anything down, and makes visiting websites much less frustrating. Perfect for anyone who just wants a cleaner, faster browsing experience.
