by Drago, 2 years 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 5 out of 5by HoodedHacker, a day agoThe literal 2nd greatest extension I've ever installed, it denies all cookies for me finally!
- Rated 1 out of 5by MollyInanna, 6 days agoBreaks Firefox because it calls `window.focus()` in ConsentEngine.js (around line 344) after it finishes clicking through a cookie banner. Focus jumps to tabs as they finish, one by one, and it also takes focus out of search boxes mid-typing on sites like Amazon. Reported on GitHub as issues #553, #557, #596 and #601, none fixed.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Jaro, 16 days agoIt's pretty good for most websites, but it does for example struggle with news websites like the german "n-tv" (It gets stuck in a loop and you have to fill out the preferences by hand (and therefore multiple times)).

- Rated 2 out of 5by anon098714509, a month agodoes what it says it will and breaks every web api in the process. there should be some logical boundary to which cookies do what and not a blanket all or nothing.
- Rated 5 out of 5by JBrickelt963, a month agoAn essential tool for automatically refusing to consent to cookies from the GAFAM giants and others at all times. I’m totally on board ^^
