by LiaraTsoni, 6 years agoTell me WHY are you using a UI library for display a couple of checkboxes ? What it will be the next time ? A virtual machine ? An add-on has to be light and efficient com'on.
UPDATE :
Thx for your reply, I understand. But I'm not talking about the code size. The size doesn't really matter, I'm just need a couple of bytes for doing a infinite loop. Using a library take more CPU and memory than vanilla. Using it one time isn't really a problem, but when you have five add-ons with five dependencies each... Grrrr ! Anyway you're doing a good job, thanks for your add-on.

posted 6 years agoHi, thank you for your comment. I plan on using react later to expand the features the popup has. There have been quite a lot of requests for this. As well as an options page. I may switch to a smaller library in the future. Adding react also helped fix several UI bugs, and makes the current UI easier to build on.
FWIW, adding react only adds ~35kb to the packaged file, a %15 increase. Unpacked it is ~120kb. However the public suffix list, and multi-domain first party list combined are 160kb. So I didn't think it was a very significant size bump.

- Rated 5 out of 5by geeknik, 10 months agoI am always on the lookout for tools that can help protect my privacy online. Privacy Possum is one such Firefox add-on that has made a significant impact on my browsing experience.
Privacy Possum is designed to block common commercial tracking methods by reducing and falsifying the data gathered by tracking companies. This add-on is highly effective in preventing third-party cookies, referer headers, etag tracking, and browser fingerprinting, which are all commonly used to track users across the internet.
One of the things I appreciate most about Privacy Possum is its simplicity. The add-on runs silently in the background, requiring no user intervention. It is also open-source, which means that its code is transparent and can be reviewed by anyone, ensuring that there are no hidden privacy risks.
Privacy Possum is a fantastic addition to my privacy toolkit, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their online privacy. Its effectiveness in blocking various tracking methods, combined with its ease of use, makes it a must-have add-on for Firefox users. Give Privacy Possum a try and experience the benefits of a more private browsing experience for yourself! - Rated 5 out of 5by Billie, a year ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by VeeTHis, 2 years agoAs of writing this review, Privacy Possum completely breaks embedded YouTube videos by causing them to give you a playback error.
Other than breaking websites, I didn't notice any significant changes while using this. - Rated 5 out of 5by João, 2 years ago
