- Rated 2 out of 5by Adam, pirms 6 gadiemThere's no telling if this add-on works or not. It doesn't offer any notification of any kind.
I give 2nd star in a good faith that at least it does what it says.Developer response
posted pirms 6 gadiemIf the icons's grayed out it doesn't work, otherwise it does. That's all there is; no big green “you're safe bar”, etc. ;-) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12654054, pirms 6 gadiemA nice way to keep your navigation private. Thanks for this!
- Rated 1 out of 5by WRCS-UK, pirms 6 gadiemThe developer's description of this Fx extension is woefully inadequate.
It fails to explain what the extension does, why and how it does what it does, and (most importantly) what particular issue(s) the extension is designed to address. I ask the developer to please rewrite the description so that it is meaningful to every casual reader (and even to an Fx longtooth [v1.2] and privacy freak who, from the description, has no clue about what this extension is "for"). - Rated 5 out of 5by mycccc, pirms 6 gadiem
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13813662, pirms 6 gadiemIt's not 100% perfect, e.g. no Chrome version, a few bugs here and there, but all in all this seems fantastic. Nothing else seems to encapsulate this functionality (except Tor Browser), which is really a shame. The referer header is a significant source of information leakage which has been around since the web was invented. I'm surprised that this extension is perhaps the only way to defend against such leakage with ease. It certainly brings a greater peace of mind with respect to people being able to track your movements.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Grey-Black-White, pirms 6 gadiemIt gives a piece of mind in terms of online privacy and security. I have not encountered any problem with it so far.
- Rated 5 out of 5by bgme, pirms 6 gadiemGreat extension.
If this extension add the Import/Export rules function,this extension will be better. - Rated 5 out of 5by PatheticCockroach, pirms 6 gadiemI installed this as a replacement to RefControl, because of that WebExtension mess.
I just installed it, so I'll have to test it longer to be sure, but so far I like the concept of only forging cross-doman requests: that seems like a smart way to avoid most of the trouble that could be caused by forging everything like I used to. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13471002, pirms 7 gadiemGreat extension to protect our privacy, only one thing is missing for it to be a full WebExtension replacement for the legacy extension RefControl : please add an option for it to work on the same domain too !
- Rated 1 out of 5by gxbfvq37809, pirms 7 gadiemthe setting is strange and hard to understand use, for example how to set a site "*.google.com" reffer to "yahoo.com".
please make that easy to use like RefControl.
