- Rated 1 out of 5by n/a, a year agoThe vast majority of accounts show "unknown" and I have to click and wait for over a minute to get a report, which sometimes never happens. Also, a very obvious bot was marked as "normal", so it's not even reliable when all the stars are aligned. Uninstalled after a few minutes.
- Rated 1 out of 5by sha-265, a year agoWhy this important extension is closed source? Not making sense at all
- Rated 1 out of 5by Bound4Earth, 2 years agoThis add-on claims to help detect bots and misinformation, except reality proves it detects no bots, unless you are going against their narrative.
Google Bot Sentinel and Amber Heard/Meghan Markle and watch the credibility of this add-on being against misinformation crumble.
Use an addon similar to this, but why use one that has an agenda? - Rated 1 out of 5by joelstoner, 2 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Dankusmemus, 3 years agoDo not use this tool, It's evil. It is made to protect a certain narrative. It will label you a bot if you don't fall in line. Also it has violated GDPR Law
- Rated 1 out of 5by Elvey, 3 years agoBAD! DANGER! There are claims in old reviews that this accesses history, but I see no evidence of that. HOWEVER, the access given to counter.social suggests malware. That domain is connected to hacktivist The Jester and not twitter, so Bot Sentinel includes features that aren’t necessary for the extension’s purpose.
Also, the redundant sites listed in permissions (4 under twitter.com even though entire domain and all subdomains are already under entry 2) push counter.social off so it's usually hidden at AMO. That's VERY suspicious on its own. Interesting that the (in)famous RAND Corporation kinda endorses it.
UPDATE:This also eats CPU. In Firefox's Process Manager (URL: about:processes), the Extensions process was pegged at 100% CPU while I had this active and dropped to negligible after I disabled it. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17101363, 3 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Ben Romer, 4 years agoThis plug-in generates ratings based on a user's conformance to centrist Democratic positions, not "authenticity". It's propaganda.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15086551, 4 years agoAdded this on to Firefox on my Android and it worked beautifully. Showed rating status next to every profile name. I donated to them then it immediately quit working on FF for Android. Too many steps to check a profile status now. I still have FF but no BotSentinel, unfortunately...
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12282497, 5 years agoI had it, tried it. It rates my account as questionable. I'm definitely not a bot.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16224494, 5 years agoDidn't show me any "bot" accounts and flagged conservative accounts as "problematic", need I say more?
If I could give this less than 1 star I would.
Questions to the devs, 1: define "troll" please.
2: define "bot" also.
3: define "non-partisan.
I am thinking our definitions of these things are very very different. - Rated 1 out of 5by Mandabar, 5 years agoI used to enjoy this extension, but with the two most recent updates, one asking for downloading files/reading download history permissions and the other changing from only twitter/tweetdeck site permissions to EVERYTHING...
Way too intrusive for something designed to be anti-troll/nefarious behavior to become something like Spyware - Rated 1 out of 5by Auhrii, 5 years agoThe new permissions it asks for in recent updates (accessing data for ALL websites and downloading files/reading download history) are extremely intrusive and in no way a requirement to perform any of the functions the description mentions.
