by Schmurtz, 4 years agoThe EU regulation which many people criticize in these comments are a true progress in your own liberty and rights. I agree to said that the implementation is really bad on most of websites and there is something to do. But take the time to read carefully what is RGPD and what is changing with this regulation and you will see that it has been made for you, to protect you.
For the author, you really should precise what does it mean "I don't care about cookies" , does it mean that it click by default on "accept all" or "reject all". I think that it matter for all the users of this extension that probably (for some of them) take care to their privacy...

Generally, I agree with you, users should know what the GDPR is all about. From i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu: "Please educate yourself about cookie related privacy issues and ways to protect yourself and your data..."
While privacy is important and the law is probably here because of us, somehow the implementation of that law is going terribly wrong. Nobody will ever find the time to read all the policies on a daily basis before accepting the policy of every visited website, especially users of this extension who mostly delete all privacy data automatically when closing the browser and are faced with the same policy acceptance pop-ups every day. It's just too much. So instead of user blindly accepting and moving on, here is the extension that does so.
I will add an explanation so the users know how the extension gets rid of warnings (in most cases it just hides and blocks them; it automatically accepts cookie palicies only when it's needed for the website to function properly). Thanks for the suggestion :)

- Rated 1 out of 5by dharmaclaw, 11 days agoThe developer claims that no data is shared with third parties, but can we really trust his word? Avast is as untrustworthy as a company can get, and they must have had a vested interest to purchase this extension. Without access to the source code, we can never be certain if this extension is trustworthy and uncompromised. Therefore, it's best to choose an open source solution for removing cookie notices.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Alonzo, 11 days agoIt now fails on many websites and the captcha to report a cookie warning is broken for me. Looks like this extension is dying. A real shame, used it for years.
