Alas, Avast.

In an acquisition context, even the most bland corporate PR statements will mention future privacy policy. The complete lack of any mention of data privacy in the developer's acquisition statement speaks volumes.

sold to Avast. a data harvesting company. immediately removed and spreading the word for others to do so. a shame...

september 2022:
'I don't care about cookies' has been acquired by avast.

No way.

Avast sells your data for millions of dollars, stay away.

I happy that you made some money after so many years working on this extension, but Avast has a long history of not respecting their user's privacy, including on extensions. As useful this is to me, I'm forced to stop using it.

Avast...

Sold to Avast, goodbye

Vaya ganas de tirar todo un trabajo maravilloso por venderlo a la mayor porqueria infesta de avast, disfutra el dinero !

The extension redirected me to a promotional page advertising Avast Antivirus.

This extension can not be trusted anymore as it has been acquired by Avast, which has collected and sold customer data before (look up Avast Jumpshot).

Sold out to Avast. Goodbye

Was a great extension, but the dev sold to Avast. Uninstalled.

I request the author to publicly share the full source code of the latest GPLv3 available version of the extension after project's Avast acquisition information that was published today.

Thanks for working on the extension for the past years, but please de-list this extension and list it again under Avast branding so all the users know what they sign up to and don't share the user-base with the acquiring company.

Just received a pop-up tab saying "I sold out to Avast", wtf? Remove this extension ASAP

Recently acquired by Avast. I just wanted an extension to get rid of cookie banners, not spyware for a scammy company. My experience has been fine so far, but I can no longer recommend this extension.

Opening a new tab out of nowhere because you want to announce some update is a NOGO! Also Avast as a partner is questionable, because they have a history of installing adware without permission on your device. Removing this addon now. But still thanks for all years.

Sold out to Avast, a shareware/upsell AV company. Expect tracking behavior, advertising, etc in the near future.

Sold to Avast. Ooof.

Avast WTF

Avast? Really?

Just popped up a new tab while I was giving a presentation. WTF? Just for a "hey, I sold out" message. NOPE. Uninstalled. When you doing something like hijacking a user's browser to show them some ad, you've just joined the dark side.

Plus, I've noticed it not working that well. I still see plenty of annoying "Hey! We use cookies" popups on sites.

This addon was acquired by Avast and can no longer be trusted. https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/whats-new/acquisition/
