If you're going to anonymously do something you DON'T need a my email to set up an account.
You're either doing this as a public service or you're hiding something nefarious.
Just NO!
And there is it is - the first THREE a day are free after that, they're dipping in your pocket.
And this isn't a difficult thing to implement if the community built a database these annoying, non-standard dodges around the idiotic EU Cookie law. This is what happens when bureaucrats design a law without actually consulting with privacy experts (or any experts in regards of this example).
---- EDIT
"Hi, The extension is free for Firefox, it also doesn't require an email to set up. So this review simply makes no sense whatsoever."
That right... allow me to QUOTE the FAQ [URL REMOVED] highlight mine.
" We don’t store any personal data except for your *e-mail address* which we use only to verify your account and to synchronize your preferences across devices.
(So it does need an email...)
AND
"Super Agent is free for the first 3 pop ups a day. The “unlimited” version costs 1.19$€ a month or 11,99$€ a year. A 29.99$€ forever option will be available soon."
So someone is telling fibs, I'm simply quoting from the developer's OWN SITE.
AND
"We don’t store any personal data *except for your e-mail address* which we use only to verify your account and to synchronize your preferences across devices. "
AND
"... [I]nformation may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from Your jurisdiction. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by Your submission of such information represents Your agreement to that transfer."
AND SO ON... Sure, this is boilerplate but it covers the company's rear, not ours.
And you don't need a central server to do this. Fingerprinting is quite sufficient to ID these Javascript devices, a central server is just a way to make sure we're "customers".
Three a day. Give me a break.Developer response
posted 5 months agoHi, The extension is free for Firefox, it also doesn't require an email to set up. So this review simply makes no sense whatsoever. - Rated 1 out of 5by orthdron, 6 months agoSlows down your browser. Do not recommend. Specifically Youtube. Tried on fresh install, just this extension is messing up. The comment on other review about ublock origin is misleading. This particular extension is borked, no fault of anything else.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13588480, 7 months agoEdit to address the developers' response: I can confirm that the performance hit mentioned below is NOT a conflict with uBlock Origin, as I made a point of disabling every extension I have, and individually reenabling them until I found the culprit. The performance issues were present with uBO still disabled, so I have to conclude that the fault does indeed lie with Super Agent. Not impressed.
THE ORIGINAL REVIEW
Had to uninstall as it made certain websites, and in particular YouTube, load like they're being powered by a netbook from circa 2010.
I'm also dubious at the prospect of sharing my data with a company, no matter how anonymised and altruistic, for the sake of preventing other companies from getting my data. It's just kicking the can down the road and doesn't eliminate the actual problem.
My recommendation? Just use a decent, preferably open source content blocker (eg uBlock Origin) and enable one of the built in "Cookie Notices" filter lists. Much more efficient, auditable, and doesn't involve sharing your data with a third party.Developer response
posted 7 months agoThe issue you mention is probably caused by a conflict with uBlock as it seems to be the common denominator from people who complained about it.
Regarding data. We don't collect any data and our source code is reviewed often by the Chrome store, Firefox, Opera and Appstore. Apple is specially strict when it comes to privacy so it would not recommend our app if it wasnt 100% safe. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18548978, 7 months agoIt basically bricked my firefox. Performance crawled to almost a halt. Even typing was super laggy. It's unfortunately not usable this way.

Francisco - Rated 1 out of 5by BlackDragonBE, 9 months agoI was hopeful this would help me skip all those cookie banners. Instead, this add-on doesn't do anything. The icon hasn't been green once and I still get cookie banners on lots of websites. Just use uBlock Origin instead.

posted 2 years agoHi, There must be a mistake. The Firefox version is free. This is a Firefox review page. - Rated 1 out of 5by ronaldscott, 2 years agoDrastic, unacceptable performance impact. Some pages take 20s to load.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Anonymous, 2 years agoDoes nothing. I still see cookie popups in every site that I visit.

- Rated 1 out of 5by fernman, 3 years agoI am not impressed. Cookie popups still appear, and if I then click on the toolbar icon it always says "Super Agent didn't detect any cookie pop-ups".
Developer response
posted 3 years agoHi Fernman, could you give us an example of a website where it is not working? I believe there might be something setup incorrectly.
Thanks
