- Rated 2 out of 5by dialing_wand, 6 months agoI wish it worked across more sites. Hush (a Safari-only extension) is far superior. I usually end up having to report 1/3 sites with consent-o-matic.
I very much appreciate the plugin, I just hoped it would work more effectively than it currently does. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14366081, 8 months agoNeat idea, but it doesn't work on the majority sites at all. Even worse, it does break sites all the time because it hides some dialogue you would need to click away.
Better get an adblocker and I Still don't Care About Cookies. This might initially "allow" all cookies, but all ad cookies will be prevented by the adblocker anyway. - Rated 2 out of 5by Drago, 9 months agoYeah, it works - really. It automatically close even some cookie popups that "I still don't care about cookies" and "superagent" miss.
BUT: It automatically switch the tab (e.g. https://www.w-hs.de/informatik-ge/). If it finds a popup and close it but you are on another tab (e.g. on about:addons) it puts the other tab/website to foreground without any user interaction!!! Thats not OK. Probably you use a real mouseclick at a specific X/Y axis on the monitor screen - it might be effective but the side effects are far more evil. Never an addon should actually control the users mouse/keyboard!
Please fix that heavy issue! - Rated 2 out of 5by don_dolarson, a year agoIt doesn't look like this extension make any difference. Using it 3rd day now and visited about 80-120 European webpages. Almost on every webpage a cookie banner was displayed. Some domains doesn't use any cookies hence no banner was displayed. There's a "About" tab in extension settings where statistics can be checked and, on mine there's only 1 domain, 1 popups filled and 5 clicks saved.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12797025, 2 years agoAbout permissions: This extension needs to "access your data for all websites", "as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords."
Why is such a permission needed? - Rated 2 out of 5by AdamAnon, 2 years agoSeems to work only on English language sites, it doesn't work on German and Polish sites. When it does work, it works well.
- Rated 2 out of 5by user, 3 years agoGood idea but not many rules... Even the most recognized sites aren't supported like microsoft.com.
GDPR Consent Rules Editor is confusing.
Exported JSON should have magic number and version!
I use uBlock Origin with EasyList Cookie list in order to hide warnings. EasyList Cookie list has 45,879 records... - Rated 2 out of 5by Dorryn, 4 years agoTrès pratique mais malheureusement trop zélé : il m'empêche d'accéder à mon espace perso sur le site de ma banque, même lorsque je le désactive pour ce site. Dommage.
