- Rated 3 out of 5by Lau, 2 days agoI think it was doing something? I probably forgot because once the cookie popups are reduced you stop thinking about them as much in the first place. BUT sadly there is currently a conflict with the duckduckgo search engine. So I am sadly going to have to disable this one for the time being. I'll update the review once it is solved and I have remembered again how much I hate cookie popups.

Francisco - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13148966, 2 days agoI has been great, but there's currently a conflict with DuckDuckGo. I either have to find a new search engine, or uninstall this extension until the conflict is cleared up. :(
Update: Fix is working perfectly, thank you Francisco.Developer response

Francisco - Rated 5 out of 5by Jack, 6 days agoI'd like a 2~5 second time lag for the banner to load. Sometimes breaks sites if clcik to soon. May I donate a few coffes?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Canned, 22 days agoBeen using this Firefox on my PC and in Safari on my iphone. My subscription just expired and I've seen the pop ups again after the first 3 free ones so I'll be subscribing again. Doesn't catch everything, but comes close and does a great of doing it.

If you're going to anonymously do something you DON'T need a my email to set up an account.
You're either doing this as a public service or you're hiding something nefarious.
Just NO!
And there is it is - the first THREE a day are free after that, they're dipping in your pocket.
And this isn't a difficult thing to implement if the community built a database these annoying, non-standard dodges around the idiotic EU Cookie law. This is what happens when bureaucrats design a law without actually consulting with privacy experts (or any experts in regards of this example).
---- EDIT
"Hi, The extension is free for Firefox, it also doesn't require an email to set up. So this review simply makes no sense whatsoever."
That right... allow me to QUOTE the FAQ [URL REMOVED] highlight mine.
" We don’t store any personal data except for your *e-mail address* which we use only to verify your account and to synchronize your preferences across devices.
(So it does need an email...)
AND
"Super Agent is free for the first 3 pop ups a day. The “unlimited” version costs 1.19$€ a month or 11,99$€ a year. A 29.99$€ forever option will be available soon."
So someone is telling fibs, I'm simply quoting from the developer's OWN SITE.
AND
"We don’t store any personal data *except for your e-mail address* which we use only to verify your account and to synchronize your preferences across devices. "
AND
"... [I]nformation may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from Your jurisdiction. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by Your submission of such information represents Your agreement to that transfer."
AND SO ON... Sure, this is boilerplate but it covers the company's rear, not ours.
And you don't need a central server to do this. Fingerprinting is quite sufficient to ID these Javascript devices, a central server is just a way to make sure we're "customers".
Three a day. Give me a break.Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by orthdron, 2 months agoSlows down your browser. Do not recommend. Specifically Youtube. Tried on fresh install, just this extension is messing up. The comment on other review about ublock origin is misleading. This particular extension is borked, no fault of anything else.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13588480, 3 months agoEdit to address the developers' response: I can confirm that the performance hit mentioned below is NOT a conflict with uBlock Origin, as I made a point of disabling every extension I have, and individually reenabling them until I found the culprit. The performance issues were present with uBO still disabled, so I have to conclude that the fault does indeed lie with Super Agent. Not impressed.
THE ORIGINAL REVIEW
Had to uninstall as it made certain websites, and in particular YouTube, load like they're being powered by a netbook from circa 2010.
I'm also dubious at the prospect of sharing my data with a company, no matter how anonymised and altruistic, for the sake of preventing other companies from getting my data. It's just kicking the can down the road and doesn't eliminate the actual problem.
My recommendation? Just use a decent, preferably open source content blocker (eg uBlock Origin) and enable one of the built in "Cookie Notices" filter lists. Much more efficient, auditable, and doesn't involve sharing your data with a third party.Developer response
posted 3 months agoThe issue you mention is probably caused by a conflict with uBlock as it seems to be the common denominator from people who complained about it.
Regarding data. We don't collect any data and our source code is reviewed often by the Chrome store, Firefox, Opera and Appstore. Apple is specially strict when it comes to privacy so it would not recommend our app if it wasnt 100% safe. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18548978, 3 months agoIt basically bricked my firefox. Performance crawled to almost a halt. Even typing was super laggy. It's unfortunately not usable this way.

- Rated 5 out of 5by wasi, 4 months agoThe only one that runs reliably on Firefox for Andorid without breaking the site! Unlike other cookie banner blockers, it does not simply hide the annoying queries unanswered, but actively issues a predefined set of rejections. This approach has the advantage that all pages continue to behave as intended and that useful cookies (performance + functionality) continue to be used. It is a little slow the first time a page is called up, after that the cookie settings are automatically applied, which is why there is no longer a slowing banner to process.
