Tell me WHY are you using a UI library for display a couple of checkboxes ? What it will be the next time ? A virtual machine ? An add-on has to be light and efficient com'on.

UPDATE :
Thx for your reply, I understand. But I'm not talking about the code size. The size doesn't really matter, I'm just need a couple of bytes for doing a infinite loop. Using a library take more CPU and memory than vanilla. Using it one time isn't really a problem, but when you have five add-ons with five dependencies each... Grrrr ! Anyway you're doing a good job, thanks for your add-on.

Hi, thank you for your comment. I plan on using react later to expand the features the popup has. There have been quite a lot of requests for this. As well as an options page. I may switch to a smaller library in the future. Adding react also helped fix several UI bugs, and makes the current UI easier to build on.

FWIW, adding react only adds ~35kb to the packaged file, a %15 increase. Unpacked it is ~120kb. However the public suffix list, and multi-domain first party list combined are 160kb. So I didn't think it was a very significant size bump.

This is the best anti-tracking addon! The developer is fast and responsive.

Hello, can we use the extension in addition to "Privacy badger" and "ublock origin" and "disconnect"?

Edit: Thank =)

The add-on is good, accomplishes the essential as privacy.
The only inconvenience that it does not protect me from the fingerprint tracking.
I did two online tests(Am I unique?, Panopticlick EFF) with the extension enabled, and in both of them my test result was positive.

TL;DR Panopticlick and Am I Unique use a homerolled assortment of tracking code that is impractical for commercial tracking.

I'll go into a little detail about Panopticlick to explain more. Panopticlick uses a deployment of the open source fingerprinting tool Fingerprintjs2, along with their own unique fingerprinting code.

I added some debug code and visited Panopticlick I see Privacy Possum detects the page accessing 12 API's that are marked for watching for fingerprinting. Except this is split over 3 different scripts:
https://panopticlick.eff.org/static/fp2.js
https://panopticlick.eff.org/static/fetch_whorls.js
https://panopticlick.eff.org/static/deployJava.js

Privacy watches for fingerprinting on *per script basis*, this is a reasonable assumption because, normally a websites tracking code is bundled into one place, so that the tracking info can be easily aggregated and used. I'm not aware of a real deployment where tracking is split up like this. It is practical for panopticlick (and Am I Unique) because they want to present information about your tracking independently, and manage the code to do that in a more practical way.

For a demonstration of the fingerprinting detection code, I usually point folks to:
http://valve.github.io/fingerprintjs2/

I think it is worth considering cases like Panopticlick, or Am I Unique, because they can be used to evade PP's novel detection. But I have not seen a case like this in the wild.

The extension appears to work well, but there is not a lot of detail about what is going on. the extension lost a star for this. When more information is available on how and what is going on it will move to 5 stars if everything else remains that same.
