posted 8 years agoHi, thank you for your report! I've submitted a fix for the DDG and Qwant breakages. Can you please let me know what other sites are broken? I'd like to fix them.
The bug on DDG & Qwant were caused by the same issue (fixed here https://github.com/cowlicks/privacypossum/commit/15db4394af5a79e05b41b750fc23db8aa5b1ac3d )
You are correct about this being a browser wide thing, currently, we inject anti-fingerprinting scripts in every frame. There is a solution to this, but due to limitations in the browser extension api it may make the extension less effective in other ways. I'm currently looking into this. But for now, I've made the anti-fingerprinting code more robust to errors.
Thanks,

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5905964, 4 months agoMalware. Timezone monkeying (nonsense values) makes you very, very unique and very, very easy to track! Says privacy on the tin, but achieves the opposite.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16480293, 8 months agoAppears to be interfering with some websites' login procedures. Trying to login to artstation with this enabled results in an infinite loading screen.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17879311, a year agoUsed to be ground breaking, but it has not been updated since Jul 18, 2019. Now it seems to break a lot of sites. I wish it had a better interface so we could toggle global settings of what we wanted enabled and disabled. It seems with a lot of the new privacy laws, browsers are starting to build these features in.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Padua, a year agoGood extension, but breaks panning on Google Maps. Would be nice if this extension gets an update, with a fix.
