- Rated 1 out of 5by Manfredi, 3 months agoPointless addon, it just doesn't work. I've tried it for months. Right now I'm trying to access a website from almost half an hour, the page keeps on saying "just a moment" while reloading itself againg and again. A nightmare. Fuck Cloudshare

Not worth the bandwidth to download! - Rated 1 out of 5by rhokstar, 3 months agoI've been using Privacy Pass to help reduce CAPTCHAs, but a recent update has introduced some concerning behavior that potential users should be aware of.
Pros:
- Can help reduce CAPTCHAs on some websites
- Open-source and maintained by Cloudflare
Cons:
- Recently started opening new tabs without user permission
- Asks for "attester" verification in an intrusive manner
- Interrupts browsing experience unexpectedly
The extension now opens a new tab without warning, asking users to verify an "attester." While this might be intended to improve transparency, the implementation is disruptive and feels like a violation of user control. This behavior seems to go against Firefox's add-on policies regarding unexpected actions and user experience. It's particularly concerning for an extension that's supposed to improve browsing, not interrupt it. I've reported this to Mozilla for review. In the meantime, users should be aware of this intrusive behavior before installing. If you value a smooth browsing experience without unexpected interruptions, you might want to consider alternatives or wait for this issue to be addressed. I hope the developers can find a less disruptive way to implement their verification process. Until then, I can't recommend this extension. - Rated 1 out of 5by James E. LaBarre, 4 months agoInstalled on Firefox, and the extension *****CANNOT***** be enabled. It's just as broken as Cloudflare itself. This extension CLAIMS to be able to stop the perpetual "Verify you are human" loop, but obviously their programming of the extension is just as shoddy as their filtering site. Verify I'm Human???? Cloudflare doesn't even have humans to answer how to FIX their BROKEN system.

- Rated 1 out of 5by user 0928524114, 9 months agoNot working even after latest update. New tab opens as shown on screenshot, sometimes fails to verify. Even if the new tab verifies, I have to verify once again on the site that requested it. So that's solving waiting two captchas each time to load and verify. The next time same story! What's the point then? Solving twice the amount of captchas and not even earning tickets for next captcha relief? No thanks. Useless addon made to waste users time.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14881252, 9 months agoWhile the github has been updated since the last review claiming it might have been abandoned, it still doesn't work. The privacy pass page will pop up just as often as cloudflair normally would, and will in fact occasionally fail to properly identify you as human rather than a bot, making the extension entirely pointless

- Rated 1 out of 5by Bobby, a year agoHas stopped working since the past few weeks. According to the people at GitHub it's indeed broken and will require fixing. Unfortunately there have been no Git commits ever since, so it might be an abandonware.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17863214, a year agoUseless now. hCaptcha dropped support and Cloudflare appears to have done so as well. Any site protected by Cloudflare just goes into an endless loop of "Are you human?". It's a sad state of the usability of the web that such a plugin is needed in the first place.

- Rated 1 out of 5by ethcat, a year agoThis is how human browse the web today. It's not Privacy Pass, it's Human Pass.
