What about youtube ? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14181026, 6 years agoSettings are not saved
Looking for a better alternative addon
Please share your ideas with me :) - Rated 3 out of 5by Blue Drache, 7 years agoUsing 0.10.3 on Firefox and Waterfox. Same issue happens: Settings do not appear to save.
Cannot remove a custom search engine because, while it's been saved to its file(s), the item does not appear in the list.
Timing appears to set itself back to the 10/min when I'm actually set to 1/min
Otherwise, this is a great tool for poisoning the data well. Security through obscurity. Thank you for this. - Rated 1 out of 5by Ben, 7 years agoWas working untill version 9 . Now version 10 not working right and no longer can use this at all .
Why wont they fix this mess and get it working again like version 9. - Rated 5 out of 5by Painterman, 7 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13707762, 7 years agoThis module doesn't work.
1) Bug: It doesn't save the settings.
2) Unexpected behavior: It just issued the query "dad porn video" with the basic settings. Many queries have no sense.
3) Useless: Nothing has really changed since the plugin was released years ago. It's easilty detected and discarded by search engines.The only benefit of this plugin is that your online profile will be tagged "Likes privacy".
The basic idea is interesting but there was not enough work put into this to make it valuable. - Rated 5 out of 5by Bernie, 7 years agoGreat add-on for confusing search engines.
However, I use Firefox in private mode and the add-on does not retain my customized settings when I quit the browser. Is this something the add-on can solve or is it a global issue with Firefox? (Firefox 57 on Mac OS X 10.13.2) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13676727, 7 years agoThank you for this add.
I face a problem on Wiindows 10 with Firefox 57: I am making some changes in the options but they get erased when closing. - Rated 5 out of 5by Privacy Services LLC, 7 years agoMust have app. These are the software developers making a difference in the world. Bravo!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13606966, 7 years agoGood add on so far.
One big problem after updating is that google queries lead to error. The google query is marked as red entry in the log window.
After disabling google as search engine, the add works correct again.

- Rated 4 out of 5by E.Debeaune, 7 years agoFor the last few days, your application get stuck on "error" unexpectedly.
And, more importantly, when I enable it, a tab with the homepage of "Google france" opens. (And disappear when I disable "TrackMeNot".
Using Windows 7
Firefox 56.0 - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13041340, 7 years agoThis used to work fine, but with the latest updates I'm just getting "Error". I have uninstalled and re-installed, but no luck

posted 7 years agoGreetings. Can you tell me your version of Firefox and TrackMeNot, and your OS? Lets see if we can get this fixed for you... - Rated 2 out of 5by antiseptic, 7 years agoIn the options menu it won't let me enable the extension. It sounds like a good idea, but the execution is flawed.

Black List problems:
- Original terms can be deleted BUT new terms cannot be added.
- The check mark of "Generate queries including keywords monitored by DHS" disappears after refresh.
Please add the option "White list" so we can add our own words to be included in search queries. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13260794, 7 years agofrench rss feeds do not seem to operate correctly. If alone in the list, no query is sent, and if just added after a | no french query is done. Maybe the syntax of the url i use is incorrect or unusable ? ex. http://www.lefigaro.fr/rss .....

- Rated 4 out of 5by Arvind Dilawar, 8 years agoBeen using it for years. Has been great, but started reading "Error" since the most recent update, which happened today, June 8, 2017, I believe.
