No notification was given that the addon was bought by Avast, a company I have no reason to trust. Use Consent-O-Matic or I Still Don't Care About Cookies addons instead.

It is very wrong for the extension to change ownership without warning the user about it. I trusted the original developer of this extension, but i do not trust Avast.

Avast made me uninstall this extension!

2023 update : moved to "I still don't care about cookies" without Avast company behind...

Très bien pour contrecarrer les ennuis visuels liés à des lois complètement inutiles, faites par des guignols sous la pression d'autres guignols ! (ils devraient plutôt mettre un autocollant sur les box pour te prévenir, comme sur les bouteilles d'alcool... haha! "Attention internet peut contenir des cookies"). Quels branques ces politiques.
Merci en tous cas.

This used to be a great extension, but it was bought by Avast (who are known to steal user data) and its no longer safe. There's a community version called "I still don't care about cookies" that doesn't steal your data.

This extension was bought by Avast, a company known for harvesting user's data. Use "I still don't care about cookies" instead which is a fork of the original one and does the same job.

bought by avast

WARNING: EXTENSION SELL YOUR DATA AND SPY YOU AS IT WAS BOUGHT BY AVAST. USE "I still dont care about cookies" INSTEAD!!!

WARNUNG! Wurde von den Avast-Missgeburten übernommen. Hat auch einige Seiten kaputt gemacht z.B. DeviantArt konnte man nix mehr anklicken. Daher KEINE Empfehlung! Nehmt die opensource Alternative "I still don't care about cookies!

I didn't understand why so many users voted it 1 star until I realized that it was indeed bought by Avast. I am usually not too concerned about my privacy, but this time I'll pay attention and go to serious alternatives.
