- Rated 1 out of 5by Mike Walsh, 25 days agoThis extension sends every url you visit back to ground news. This is far too broad. As far as I can tell, they don't state whether these requests are stored and for how long. They seem to have implemented some sort of a black list in the extension, but it really should work as a whitelist instead. Their list of sources can't be that large.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5905964, a month agoJust no: "Access your data for all websites" What for? I pay for the service, but you need to put out a sensible addon.
- Rated 1 out of 5by RokeJulianLockhart, 6 months agoUnable to login to the extension despite being authenticated via the browser.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Lightspill, 6 months agoThis extension may be well-intentioned, but it is a serious violation of trust and privacy. We verified that whenever we accessed a URL even on a personal server, a second request from an AWS instance would follow for the same resource. This is way, way, way inappropriate. And far worse than anything I would have expected given the stated purpose.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Juliana, a year agoI love the site, but this extension is SO BUGGY! I can't save citation, the top bar when I open a news site doesn't recognize I'm logged in already. Horrible.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17912944, a year agoAccess to the website requires download of an add-on to my browser. Warning label says they will have access to all my browsing data if I download and use it. NO WAY WILL I ALLOW THAT. I am looking for a way to cancel my subscription, but their web address comes back 401. Not a good sign.
- Rated 1 out of 5by lightz0, 2 years agoYeah I like ground news as an idea but the small percentage of users cursed to read Terms of Service agreements I also take issue with the over-reach here. Good idea, well designed layout, no you cant have all my data and expect me to pay for it.
