Today the owner announced that the extension was sold to Avast: the notorious antivirus company that has been busted spying on users' online activity (check articles from PCMag, Vice, How-to-geek etc). I uninstalled it immediately.

This extension was recently acquired by Avast, a company known long for its abusive data collection policies. Heartbroken, I, have to let this useful extension go because I cannot support such bad corporate behavior and praying eyes on my browser activities. Today, I stop using this extension. But happy that the developer made some money, good luck but you won't be seeing me using this extension unless it went back to the way it was before. GG while it lasted.

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.

Another example of money and profits over users.... cannot wait to see how much money avast made from this extension by selling our data

Avast? No thanks. "Consent-O-Matic" is the way to go.

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.

Love that the developer got paid. Not using it now that its been bought by Avast.

Great Addon, but the random popping up tab is pretty annoying. y u do dat?

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
