- Rated 1 out of 5by Cee Jay, 4 years agoI used this before my laptop recently went screwy on me. A Windows update didn't work so I had to reinstall it, which meant that everything I had installed was removed, including this. I have readded it because it was good but now it isn't because pop-ups keep popping up. For example, this morning, I had a tab pop up from a filthy website with a girl flirty her naked DD's at me. Not nice.
I've tried other Cookie Add Ons and they aren't working either, so maybe it's my laptop or something.
It's a lot of hard work keeping track of them and trying to get rid of them, hence add ons like these. I just want one that works, obviously. - Rated 1 out of 5by --- MaBo. ---, 4 years ago... unusable, it blocks to much "good" Sites ! Deinstalled.
- Rated 1 out of 5by iiSnewoNL, 4 years ago"In most cases, it just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do). It doesn't delete cookies."
Yeah, this scares me a lot. Why can't you make like a small UI pop-up saying when it needs to fully accepts the cookie for the website to work, so we at least get a warning message? - Rated 1 out of 5by ezgilila, 4 years agoFrom the developer's website: "When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you, sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do."). There's no mention of this here on the add-on page at all. I think it would be helpful if the developer outlined this clearly here and told us what kind of cookies are accepted. Accepting all cookies is simply a no-go for me (I'm well aware it's the "easier" thing to do) so I've removed it again.
- Rated 1 out of 5by gecko, 4 years agoBlockiert keine Google Cookie Warnung mehr.Ich hoffe da kommt noch ein update.Sonst so nicht mehr zu empfehlen.
- Rated 1 out of 5by UnnamedUser, 4 years agoUnfortunately it only VALIDATE EVERYTHING instead of rejecting everything. Not really consumer-friendly.

- Rated 1 out of 5by CreepyCrawler, 4 years agoAs others have pointed out, this addon gets rid of the cookie warnings by "accepting all". This is not explicit in the description of the addon and therefore can lead many people in mistake.
It's perfectly fine if the addon accepts all cookies - I'm sure it's useful for many people and those who don't want it should not use it of course. But it should be clear what it does! I'll be happy to change the rating if that changes.Developer response
posted 4 years agoYou're wrong. From the extension's homepage: "In most cases, [the extension] just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do). It doesn't delete cookies." - Rated 1 out of 5by Mike, 4 years agoCaution! This add-on does not reject that websites track you; it automatically allows it! This is exactly the opposite of what I want.

posted 4 years agoIf the add-on does something you don't need, don't use it. Giving a one star review just because you need something else is wrong, because it pretty much does great what it's created for. Developer response
posted 5 years agoPrego :) You should write to amo-featured@mozilla.org and ask Mozilla to enable it in Firefox for Android.- Rated 1 out of 5by EdwinK, 5 years agoAs many others said before - the name sez it all. From the developer's website (why can't this be found here??): "By using it, you explicitly allow websites to do whatever they want with cookies they set on your computer". Are there informations anywhere as to the financing of the project? What we desperately need is an add-on that does the same but always allow the minimum settings only!

posted 5 years agoHi Edwin,
1. The website doesn't state that anymore. In most cases, the extension just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups and doesn't accept anything. When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do).
2. The extension is not properly financed. It's a donation based project (a big thanks to all who contributed!) but donations don't cover my time and resources invested. Feel free to change that :) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13742779, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13805277, 5 years agoThe name says it all. It's the perfect tool for people that don't care about cookies. It just accept every cookie.
For anyone else: Beware of this extension.Developer response
posted 5 years agoNot true, it doesn't accept cookies. It mostly blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. Only when it's needed for the website to work properly, it accepts the cookie policy. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13987536, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13809389, 5 years agoThis add-on just sent me a notification to advertise their other services. Uninstalled!
Developer response
posted 5 years agoNot really true. It was a notification calling to support "I don't care about cookies" development. - Rated 1 out of 5by Mike JC, 5 years agoThis add-on blocks the discussion sections of https://metro.co.uk so I regrettably have had to remove it and I cannot recommend it.
Developer response
posted 5 years agoThere is a built-in way to report problems, please use it next time (metro.co.uk hasn't been reported). It will be fixed! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13764671, 5 years agoIt used to be good, but nowadays does not work properly anymore with Firefox. Every time you want to report a cookie warning, you get the message that the fault lies with Firefox.
Developer response
posted 5 years agoWhenever you see that message, that means that I've seen the already existing report and checked the website and I really can't see the warning unless I disable the extension.
That is valid for Firefox on Linux, Chrome, Opera and most other browsers. But in Firefox for Windows... that's another story. I have reported it to them but they don't do much, I can't do anything else.
Try switching to Chrome for a while - just for a while :) - and you'll see there are no cookie warnings on those same websites. - Rated 1 out of 5by Yan, 6 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Cynyster, 6 years agoSo I get to exchange on kind of annoyance with another. The annoyance of the cookie popup or the annoyance that I get a full browser screen ad every time I launch my browser.. You want how much to stop your ad?
Yeah Get BENT I am the kind of guy that DOES donate to plugin developers. But not to exchange one annoyance for another... Bye ByeDeveloper response
posted 6 years agoThe notice is set up to be displayed only once, when the extension gets updated to version 3.0.2. If you see it more than once (in a single browser), there might be a bug in the browser itself. If you can, please send me more info about it. You can also try to uninstall the extension (I guess you've already done that part hihi) and install it again after the browser restart. That may help.
Also, if you have some kind of sandboxing software like Sandboxie, it can cause this kind of problem with addons, you should see the instructions provided by sandboxing software developers. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12436207, 6 years ago
