- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13627002, 23 days agoSeems to work well on most sites, completely prevents scrolling on some sites.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 5717387, 4 months agoI was quite happy with this but in the last weeks it started to break the correct visualization of certain sites. What happens is that I cannot anymore scroll down the pages.
Unfortunately this seems to be not maintained anymore.
Their site is down. - Rated 2 out of 5by jayf, 9 months agoI wanted to get rid of cookie popups, not see your popup instead
- Rated 2 out of 5by kloassie, a year agoIt works ... a bit too well :( It doesn't only say no to all cookies on plenty of sites, but it also removes the (vertical) page-scrcollbar on several sites and disables the ability to scroll with arrow keys on those sites as well. This makes half (or more) of the pages on those sites unreadable, unless you zoom so far out that the text becomes too small to read. mouse scrolling I haven't tested on those sites bc I prefer using my laptops touchpad instead of adding another accessory that can fall/get lost/break/refuse service/whatnot
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13480864, 3 years agoDu siehst oben rechts im Browser ein Symbol. Das sieht mal so, mal so aus. Angeklickt enthält es verschiedene Aussagen auf Englisch: "No cookie banner has been detected on this webpage"; "Cookie usage is being setup on this webpage" oder "Cookie usage is restricted on this webpage". Es gibt keine sonstige Info und man kann sich dann irgendwas zusammenreimen. Und unten im Feld ganz kryptisch: "Cookie banners set:2 Time saved: 10.8 seconds" - was auch immer das bedeuten mag. Die nervigen Popups mit der Cookie-Konfiguration sind nicht weg, aber seltener. Du weißt aber nie, welche Cookies jetzt geblockt wurden, alles außer nötig zum Beispiel. Also such ich jetzt mal weiter nach was besserem.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Dark_Ronius, 3 years agoThis seems like such a good idea in theory: Like "I don't care about cookies!", but which opts you out instead.
In practice, you're left feeling like you have no idea if the add on has even worked most of the time. Some of this is because of the broken way cookie opt-outs have been legislated, which means every site has its own version of the form. But I feel less trust in this to actually navigate cookie permission menus than doing it myself.
Worse, it breaks websites. Sometimes. I can't guarantee this isn't because of other addons I use, but the problems are always fixed by disabling Ninja Cookie. Tested this on Firefox on Windows and Edge on Windows. Also, tested on Firefox for Android (which is unsupported anyway).
I'd recommend using "Protect My Choices" and "Interest Based Advertising Opt-Out" to, by default, have most advertising companies opted out. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13480766, 3 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Drago, 4 years agoSometimes useful addon. It detects a few cookie banners not handled by "Don't care about cookies", but overall much less than the all-time favorite.
But unfortunately it also blocks important things like reCaptchas. So the website is no longer functional and the addon has to be deactivated again and again!

By the way, there should be no pay variant. Superfluous advertising is not something you should continually pay money to get rid of.... (to support the developers financially is recommendable, but morally not compatible with a half-forced subscription membership...)

Manchmal nützliches Addon. Es erkennt ein paar von "Don't care about cookies" nicht behandelte Cookiebanner, aber insgesamt sehr viel weniger als der allseitsbekannte Favorit.
Aber leider blockiert es auch wichtige Dinge wie z.B. reCaptchas. So ist die Website nicht mehr funktionsfähig und das Addon muss immer wieder deaktiviert werden!
-2 Sterne Abzug
Im Übrigen sollte es keine Bezahlvariante geben. Überflüssige Werbung ist nichts, für dessen Abschaffung man fortwährend Geld bezahlen sollte... (die Entwickler finanziell zu unterstützen ist empfehlenswert, aber moralisch nicht mit einer halb erzwungenen Abo-Mitgliedschaft vereinbar...)
