by Stoia, 4 months agoMASSIVE Memory Leak. It consumed 130 gigs of total storage, bloating my pagefile to 96 gigs total.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nazmond, 7 months agoDoes the job, helped me avoid spoilers on a recent release, it blocks the specified word completely, but not only that, it also blocks the entire section such as a whole paragraph or even the whole page, anything linked to the keyword gets blocked, images too, amazing.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Fordring, 2 years agoI am trying to avoid leaked content for The Owl House Season 3 and this extension has been working just fine so far.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Comic-Ray, 2 years agoUsed to work just fine, but does not do anything at all now. The settings are missing almost all descriptions for input fields and nothing you enter is retained, so it's impossible to configure spoilers. I tried a few combinations, none of them blocked anything.

- Rated 1 out of 5by HibouProfene, 3 years agoWorks as intended but can slow down or even freeze your browser :(
- Rated 4 out of 5by JamesonTC, 3 years agoThis extension works very well if you use it properly.
Works great on twitter, reddit, and general browsing where spoilers are abundant.
Many of the complaints stem from its use on websites like youtube which are CPU heavy, but those can be whitelisted using the tag "youtube*" in the whitelist section.
If you still need spoilers blocked on youtube I use BlockTube, which works very well too. - Rated 1 out of 5by TN, 3 years agoDO NOT INSTALL. Extension works but it's so old, out of date that slow down browser, even frozen, tax a lot of CPU.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15838319, 4 years agoPages became too slow after installing this extension.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15996663, 4 years agoWorks pretty good so far, but it caused YouTube to become awfully slow and unresponsive. Which is a bummer because YouTube happens to be one of the most spoiler-prone websites.
This issue apparently is remained unresolved for at least a year now, I do hope this can be fixed ASAP. :)
Update: The slowdown is getting worse and even occur on sites like reddit as of today. Unfortunately this extension has to be disabled for this browser atm. It just sucks that the dev didnt bother doing anything about it. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14474456, 4 years agoHorrible. Installed for a week, when enabled I had the cpu at 100%, fan at full speed and Firefox was incredibly slow, almost unusable. It all seemed like I had a PC from the early 90s.
Once I disabled 'Spoiler Protection 2.0', cpu and fans were slowly going back to normal. - Rated 1 out of 5by Gafgar, 4 years agoReally good for many pages, and good customization and clear markups. BUT, it works really poorly on some pages, that some might use a lot. Like YouTube. Youtube gets very unresponsive, loading takes way longer and everything bugs down. The moment I disable the plugin, it work great again. If I turn it on, it gets really bad again. Which is unfortunate. It means I will have to look for another plugin. So I can't sadly rate it higher than this. As it's practically unusable for me. Though it's not a zero, as it shows promise.
EDIT: I have to change the score.. the performace is really horrible and I have found myself running with the plugin activated for 90% of the time, which misses the while point of the plugin.
The strange thing is that even with all special YouTube processing turned off, and NO FILTERS on, the performance is still horrible. All YouTube videos buffers a ton and run at worst resolutions, and the whole browser window is often completely unresponsive.
I will have to uninstall and find another plugin. - Rated 3 out of 5by bladeshot, 5 years agoWorks great, but some websites slow down immensely to the point of unusable
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15331476, 5 years agoHaven't experienced any slow downs on Pentium G4560, 4gb ram. Works great! Though for example here: https://i.imgur.com/momIpFy.png it breaks the layout (there should be 2 lines filled fully, but the red div seems to be a pixel or 2 too wide). Otherwise everything's working as it should.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15300471, 5 years agoRated 5* for my experience on Google, I'm hoping the creator can tell me how this works on Firefox, because so far I've been able to install it and that's it . . . there's no way to access the options and the app from the Firefox Browser, and it's logo does no appear alongside other apps in the browser bar.
Please help! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14994764, 5 years agoI know you're working on performance issues, and it's great because as of now it's nearly unusable on many sites (mostly the dynamic ones, that get very slow while loading content, and after to much content has been loaded). A temporary workaround could be to allow disabling the add-on on user specified websites. Not sure if the "White list" feature is supposed to do that but it's not working on my side. Keep up the good work :)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Panical, 5 years agoSuch a good add-on! I wish I could donate to the creator(s) of this! So useful. Works all the time! Haven't experienced bugs or problems at all.

I know this addon is slow, but I may have found a solution and will implement it in the very near future to improve performance - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14791484, 5 years agoLiterally You guys spoiled me what I was avoiding, not cool, I was reading a random wikipedia website with my words already blocked and a giant red square appeared with the BIGGEST Avengers End Game spoiler you could have given me, I trusted you to surf the web safely and you had to be the ones to betray me, I'm really mad, I don't know why you did this.

posted 5 years agoDear User,
This only could happen if you import a category what contains a spoiler. I manually approve every category to avoid this kind of situations. I went through last week every category to wipe out every possible spoilers, but it seems I've made a mistake.
I sincerely apologize for this.
It is possible to import unapproved categories from the website, I'll remove that option too.
If you could name the category what you imported name it please and I'll look through not to happen again with someone else. Please send it to the " extensions@wecdev.com " with the exact phrase what was the spoiler.
Thank you
