- Rated 4 out of 5by Iain, 4 years agoExellent when it's working, but sometimes it works too well. On occasion, the cookie banner will be hidden, and it appears to also fail to make a selection to "accept" or "reject". What you will experience when this happens is clicking on a button will have no effect. I usually see this during a checkout process and clicking on the "proceed to card payment" button will have no action. You will then need to whitelist the domain or disable the extension. Not a problem for me, but using this extension does come with this caveat so installing it for other people may lead to a lot of frustration for them.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Strabisme, 4 years agoI don't understand if the extension checks everything to make it so we refuse the cookies or we accept them all ? Would be nice to tell us right away. I put 4 stars just for that, otherwise, great initiative.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Brian 3000, 4 years agoIt does miss some cookie sites, but all in all a great app.

- Rated 4 out of 5by kkc, 4 years agoNice add-on. Thank you!
Best used with a cookie manager that automatically deletes cookies for all domains unless whitelisted e.g. Cookie AutoDelete. This way, if this add-on has to "accept all", then the cookies will be deleted after tab closes!
One suggestion: it would be useful to be able to whitelist a domain / subdomain directly from the "I dont care about cookies" icon, i.e. you visit a website and then clicking on the icon allows you to whitelist directly without having to enter into an editor like dialog.
Failing this, some examples of how to list domains in the whitelist window would help e.g. can one use *.amazon.* or *amazon* for all amazon related sites as for these I would not want cookies to be limited or deleted. And neither do I want to explicitly list 4-5 amazon website e.g. amazon.de, amazon.co.uk, amazon.com...Developer response
posted 4 years agoYou *can* whitelist it from extension's menu directly: the first line in that menu says "Disable extension on [current domain name]". - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16867094, 4 years agoThat is a great extension, but how can I install it on android? AFAIK it's supposed to be available on this platform?
Edit: thanks for your reply, that sucks from Mozilla, but I appreciate your time.Developer response
posted 4 years agoFirefox for Android now allows only a handful of manually picked extensions. Firefox Nightly allows installing extensions, primarily for testing, but the procedure is a bit complicated. I tried it and it works well: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extension-support-in-firefox-for-android-nightly/ - Rated 4 out of 5by MEGA, 4 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by gg69, 4 years agoThank you for this great addon! On your Homepage you write: "... sometimes it will accept ALL and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do..." => User should get the ability to choose about accepting ALL cookies or even not...

posted 4 years agoShould I also rename the extension to "I do care about cookies after all" then? :) Just kidding. You're welcome! - Rated 4 out of 5by bsdaddict, 4 years agoGood addon. However, just today I realized that it can break some functionality on sites. Specifically, a live chat widget wouldn't load on a particular site until I whitelisted the site. I can provide more details if you wish, but I'd prefer to send them via email...

- Rated 4 out of 5by Invisible, 4 years agoWorks perfekt especially in combination with addon "no-script". Don't know what "I dont't care about cookies" does exactly allow or disallow - but it doesn't matter because no-script does the rest. Perfect Plug-in duo - feels like Internet in 2005 again. Thank you so much!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Serge_del, 4 years agoWhy the last version of FF (80 and more) for Android doesn't support this extension?
It's really a sh** all these cookies notification on a little screen! - Rated 4 out of 5by Bert, 4 years agoVery good, does its job very well. I have used it now for a long time and I am very happy. Just a small dissatisfaction concerning the google webpage lately: Since a few weeks or so, the google warning is loaded for a few seconds, then it vanishes. Could this be due to a technical change on the google webpage ... ? Apart from this minor issue, my experience with the add-on is very good. Browsing on the web feels *much* more convenient.
Developer response
posted 4 years agoYes, Google changed its warning. It loads for a while and then it's automatically accepted by the extension. The warning has been built in such a way that the extension can't really do anything else to get rid of it. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16090411, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Antarès, 5 years agohello, what happened to the functionality that allowed us to accept the strict necessary for the proper functioning of the sites? because it's good to hide the cookie popup but some sites gray the page until we have accepted the cookies and the addon does not allow to remove this gray.
Developer response
posted 5 years agoThat functionality has been removed as it made fingerprinting easier. Please report websites that gray the page, I'll check them.
