- Rated 2 out of 5by m03geek, 6 years agoIn addition to tracking protection this addon breaking oauth. As it has no configuration, I'd recommend to use some adblocking addons with privacy filters rather this one.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12370795, 6 years agoCan you please say more about how your add-on is falsifying the data gathered by tracking companies. Does it modify any fingerprinting data?
If so is it compatible with the extension CanvasBlocker? Or does it do the same as CanvasBlocker.Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi KIMW, there is a more in depth explanation about how blocking fingerprinting works here: https://github.com/cowlicks/privacypossum#browser-fingerprinting
Please let me know if you have any further questions after reading that. That way I can clarify documentation to avoid confusion in the future.
Privacy Possum *should* be compatible with with CanvasBlocker. - Rated 5 out of 5by Édouard Lopez, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by LiaraTsoni, 6 years agoTell me WHY are you using a UI library for display a couple of checkboxes ? What it will be the next time ? A virtual machine ? An add-on has to be light and efficient com'on.
UPDATE :
Thx for your reply, I understand. But I'm not talking about the code size. The size doesn't really matter, I'm just need a couple of bytes for doing a infinite loop. Using a library take more CPU and memory than vanilla. Using it one time isn't really a problem, but when you have five add-ons with five dependencies each... Grrrr ! Anyway you're doing a good job, thanks for your add-on.Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi, thank you for your comment. I plan on using react later to expand the features the popup has. There have been quite a lot of requests for this. As well as an options page. I may switch to a smaller library in the future. Adding react also helped fix several UI bugs, and makes the current UI easier to build on.
FWIW, adding react only adds ~35kb to the packaged file, a %15 increase. Unpacked it is ~120kb. However the public suffix list, and multi-domain first party list combined are 160kb. So I didn't think it was a very significant size bump. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13230603, 6 years ago
