Rakuten: Get Cash Back For Shopping by Rakuten

by Firefox user 14779228, 6 years agoI like Ebates, but this browser add-on is too overreaching. I don't need non-disappearing pop-ups on every merchant site I visit advertising the cash-back rate. Nor do I need to see cash-back offers in search results (I cannot believe this is touted as a feature). There is, apparently, no way to turn either of these features off? I'll still use the site, but this add-on is spam.
April 28 update: This response is telling. The button is an "R." I don't want activation hover on any site - is your solution to create a whitelist that covers all Ebates/Rakuten merchants? And there is no "Do not display Product Search Recommendations" option in the settings - https://s.put.re/FNnXcqat.png

posted 6 years agoWe definitely want the Button to be helpful, not a nuisance. Here’s how to disable the pop-up reminders and search recommendations:
1. Click on the Cash Back Button icon (the “E”).
2. Click on “Settings” at the bottom of the drop-down that appears.
3. To hide the Activate Cash Back reminders, check the box for “Do not display Activation Hover on these sites.”
4. Enter the URLs of sites you don’t want reminders for. When you’re done, click "Save.”
5. You may also check the box "Do not display Product Search Recommendations"
