por Utilizador do Firefox 17109352 , há 4 anos As of November of 2021, I ("technical data-security" person in public sector) see the legal situation for this addon as follows:
Lets start with a big con about entering legal contracts by surfing in the world wide web:
- Absolutely violates the " informed consent" required by GDPR by sometimes giving consent but hiding what I actually agreed to. Legally, neither the user nor the website now know if anyone is at fault for aggregating and using personal data. I can neither exercise my rights to be informed or correct data that was collected, nor can the website owner use or sell my data in good conscience.
- The developers website acknowledges this schism: "Please educate yourself about cookie related privacy issues and ways to protect yourself and your data. For example, you can block 3rd party cookies, install ad blocking extensions and then block tracking tools, delete browsing data regularly, enable Tracking Protection in your browser etc."
Which is the right way to handle cookie banners. This is the worst way for all parties involved. To reiterate: even the website owners get a poisoned gift by receiving non-legally-valid consent, and the user waives all control over their personal rights without even knowing, how that might hurt him or her whenever this add-on allows some tracking cookies to be stored.
Pros:
+ Visually, seems to work. (Legally, see above. Browser Cookies are not about cookies or computer science, but the actual subject matter is keeping others from knowing what kind of stigmatised interests or ridiculed condition you keep to yourself or a very limited audience. By not caring, you shoot yourself in the foot.)
+ The developer actually reads this and reacts to it.
UPDATE:
Starting in December, this Addon will probably need to register as a "Personal Information Management Systems" (PIMS) in germany, to finally become legal. Let's hope that it won't be an extensive and thereby expensive certification. If @Kiko fails to do that, this app will still work ins legally gray area are finally become illegal in germany and should regionally be blocked to avoid anyone sueing Kiko or the end-users.
The EUs info on that:

This might even of interest for power users or people who actually read EULAs.

Resposta do programador
publicado a há 4 anosThe extension's name says it all - it's for people who don't care much about the consent the website will get, the data it will collect nor what it will do with that data. If you do care that much, it's probably not for you. You didn't rate how it does what it is for, but rather how you feel about the overall idea.
You were right about the somewhat poor description here on Mozilla though, I adjusted it. Thanks for that!

- Avaliado em 2 de 5por faelpinho , há 12 horasIt's a functional and cool extension, but it adds the class "idc0_350" into any page, even sites without this warning about cookies, causing bugs in dark themes. I'll uninstall from now.

- Avaliado em 3 de 5por Heddo , há 15 diasWorks great, i.e. blocks most of the poupups, but that also means a lot of sites are broken (since accepting cookies sometimes 'unlocks' the whole site, so the addon has to be disabled). It can be a bit annoying, maybe more than the popups themselves.
Because of thet, I wouldn't reccomend it for people who can't easliy spot that a site is broken, due to blocking the cookie popup (or don't won't to deal with this). - Avaliado em 5 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 18993394 , há 15 dias

2) just found out the extension was acquired to potentially farm data? - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 17375526 , há 2 mesesThis extension has been acquired by Avast (which itself has been acquired by Gen Digital Inc., a large tech conglomerate) and I simply don't trust Avast with my data.
