by Yves Goergen, 4 years agoBasically, nice. It really does hide a ton of that EU regulation crap that floods the web now like advertisements. But I can't continue to use this anymore. Too many websites are broken in a way that's hard to diagnose. Missing page elements, broken features, entirely unusable pages (because of modal background remains), other annoyances. It's better to confirm the cookies once and have a properly working website than having a broken website more easily. :-( This is when EU sucks. The only thing this add-on could do better is adding more hacks for more websites. Just hiding confirmation dialogs doesn't help, they have to be confirmed properly. The pages' scripts rely on that. It's hard, I know, and it's probably not the way to go forward. We had a good time together, but this is starting to get out of control, so for me it's better to quit. And it's sad to say goodbye.
Update: The real world is unbearable, I had not anticipated this! So I looked around and learned how to use this add-on properly. I now make use of per-site configuration and only turn it off where it fails, but leave it on by default. Much better! Keep up the good work! Thanks!

posted 4 years agoThanks for the nice review, I totally understand your point. This certainly isn't a one man project, and I'd have to give up my job [and family and everything else] :D to cover all reported websites properly. Thanks for using it!
