- Rated 4 out of 5by BaraShiro, a year ago(Updated 24-09-24) Very powerful but complex tool. Defeats fingerprinting, but requires some tinkering in order to not break almost every page on the internet. The memory issues seems to be fixed in version 0.19.1.

posted 7 months agoThe CPU and RAM usage should be signifficantly lower startng from 0.19.1 that is just released. Please let us know if you observe issues in 0.19.1. We prefer the issue tracker or email jshelter@gnu.org. - Rated 4 out of 5by ti-ap, a year agoA great tool that everyone should be using, even if it's not perfect. I recommend it to anyone that will listen. On rare occasions some sites will break because they're using a really aggressive captcha or spam detection platform. Lowering the settings on JShelter and refreshing fixes this. I also disagree that notifications should be shown by default, if at all. Every site is using fingerprinting of some sort nowadays, so you just get a notification every time you go to a site and the notifications become noise.

- Rated 4 out of 5by brochard, 3 years agoWay easier to use than NoScript, doesn't break much at the default level (level 2)
but recaptcha doesn't work and youtube videos freeze when I open a new site.
