    As mentioned by other users, this extension will screw your tabs and kick you out from all websites. This is not a behaviour you want from an add-on. Luckily, removing it and restarting the browser reverted that thing for me and gave me my sessions back.

    It screwed up my profile, cleared site data, added 15 unnecessary profiles, and added a bunch of settings. It changed my new tab page, and it has a horrible interface. David, that is not a feature. It even resets the settings after you change them. DO NOT INSTALL THIS BORDERLINE MALWARE!

    Messes up your firefox profile, even after you uninstall it!
    edit: after uninstalling this addon, I had to turn off privacy.resistFingerprinting. There's still a problem where I have no suggestions in the URL bar at all, not even my history or bookmarks. Haven't figured out how to fix that yet.

    Garbage written by people who don't mind being harmful parasites. The settings page has invisible fonts in Dark Mode, and it hijacks your profile on EVERY web page instead of just on I2P pages. Use a proxy.pac file instead.

    Don't use it on a configured and used firefox, you will be sorry!
    Installing it froze my ffox, and then I was logged out of every site there is, site settings are gone also.
    It did ask for LOADS of permissions, but I did not expect it to alter my personal data just by installing it!
    Never actually used it because I uninstalled it immediately, and am trying to repair the damage!
    Edit: Some settings reset after restarting firefox even after uninstalling this garbage. HOW DO I FIX THIS???? (Zoom, etc gets lost when I close firefox now. It opens in a small window, totally reset every time. And there is not even a firefox setting I can set to stop this)
    Edit2: Found the setting that this garbage changes. In about:config change privacy.resistFingerprinting back to false. Lets hope it didn't change any other critical settings.

    Constant theme switching is jarring and lags out the browser. In addition, the settings view has white background and white font, rendering it unreadable.

    This extension is realy bad. It is working, but it changed my browser theme to white, logout me from some websites like youtube etc., ...
    Do not install it, please

    The Ugly:
    1. Mess your Firefox Profile (sometimes the sandbox)
    2. i2p+ homepage blocked
    3. Overrides Automatic Proxy Configuration (example: anonsurfpack)
    4. Easy fingerprinting and blocking by CloudFront
    Many others!

    The good:
    If you are just starting with i2p and you have a insecure OS, it is better than nothing.

    It does have potential!

    Hi Qubes.

    I can't change what version of IceCat ParrotOS packages. I'm not in charge of what they do. If you force it to be installed in a lower Firefox version than what I officially support, I am not responsible for the consequences. Firefox plays nice with the sandbox in newer versions. I suggest you update.

    Of course it overrides automatic proxy configuration. It's whole job is to override the proxy configuration for the container tab. If you're hell-bent on nonstandard configuration, then this isn't the extension for you.

    As I told you on zzz's forum, there is absolutely nothing I can do about CDN's testing for privacy.resistFingerprinting and blocking people who use it. That is Amazon's fault, not mine. The alternative, *disabling* privacy.resistFingerprinting, is much worse. As I said, I won't endanger other users just because you are having issues with a CDN.

    I may make an effort to be more compatible with I2P+, but your other three issues are just as ill-concieved and non-actionable as they were on zzz.i2p.

    Completely freezes my browser after installing. Uninstalled it in safe mode, and now I'm signed out of my websites.

    You are the very first user of this extension to ever describe this behavior. The only thing I can think of that could cause it is another extension competing with it to do some function related to closing and re-opening a tab. Could you please describe for me what other extensions you are using, so that I can attempt to reproduce the issue?

    After installation my Gmail in another tab got disconnected. And another website as well. They wanted me to enter my credentials again. :-/
    I got scared and uninstalled this extension for now.

    I expected that I would get an icon on my FF toolbar for this add-on (which I did) and clicking the icon would open a container tab (whatever it would be) which would allow me to browse thru i2p proxy, or connect to the console. But this interfered with my ordinary tabs instead. :-(

    Maybe I did something wrong but don't know what.

    That's not good, it means it's probably not playing nice with other containerizing extensions anymore. This is a bug, and I will fix it soon. Very sorry for the inconvenience. https://i2pgit.org/idk/I2P-in-Private-Browsing-Mode-Firefox/-/issues/32
