With the new update, the addon no longer makes unnecessary connections to paypalobjects.com, keepa.com, disqus.com at options. Google Analytics was disabled from previous versions. It was never blatant spyware as others have said. It works as good as the defunct RefControl

Developer: Settings by are lost by clear 'offline website data'. localStorage API use in extension is not advised.

Reproduce all rules lost after clearing all history:
1,click the ctrl+shift+delete, clear all history,
2,click the Referer Control icon enter rules panel.
All rules are gone! Including the configuration!

As the previous comment said, connects to google analytics + impossible to block = shouldn't even be on AMO
100% agree.

Awesome in feature, terrible in privacy.

DO NOT INSTALL : SPYWARE EXTENSION
The extension connects to disqus and google analytics in the privileged environment of the extension settings page every single time this page is open. Those connections are impossible to block using webextensions (that level of security was only possible with pre-quantum legacy extensions which are now forbidden by Mozilla). No privacy policy covering this hidden data collection is warning the user. Therefore it shouldn't even be on AMO.

In addition, the extension does not even work properly ; all settings are reset after clearing history.

in privacy mode, it can't read the customer setting, only can't be used the new setting.

It's pretty good, works like the original with only UA differences. happy to have an addon that will continue to work in the future. It's kind of weird the developers website and only other addon is an amazon price tracker.

clear all target history still lose all settings, maybe you should find an other safty way to save settings file.

Finally learnt how to use this addon, does what it said.
But I cann't find which file the settings are stored. Cause I need to make a portable Firefox version, when I open it on another PC, the Referer Control settings are empty.

Good addon but loads disqus comments and page in extension page which I find unnecessary. Please add option to disable loading these

works like a charm and does what you expect it to do ;)
only thing i would like is to have the options availiable on the button instead/in addition to the rightclick-menu.

Every time I start Firefox, the settings of this add-on comes up and all the settings are lost. This must be fixed soon.

After several bug fixes, this addon is now working as intended.

If you were looking for a replacement for the old "RefControl" addon that hasn't received and update since 2014, then this is the addon for you as it does everything that addon does and more.

My only wish is that there was a way to modify preferences from the toolbar instead of having to open up another page.

I was looking for a replacement to RefControl since it's marked as incompatible with multi-process (e10s).

I found this, which:
- is actually more powerful (possibility to do regexes, logs to show what is actually sent, ...)
- has the benefit of being of WebExtension, which means it'll keep on working!

Great job!

If there's something to improve, it could be the documentation/user-friendliness.
For instance, it's not clear to me if the 3rd party toggle applies to 3rd party requests sent TO the site indicated or FROM the site indicated. Seems to be FROM, but I'm not sure.
I'm also not sure what the Block Javascript Referrer toggle does: is it there because javascript requests used different mechanisms? I'm an advanced user but not a web developer.

This looks impressive.

Can you add the a toolbar button to toggle all extension functionality on/off?

(Also note that the current toolbar button to add the site to the db is not working correctly.)
