User reviews

Users appreciate that the extension reduces cookie popup annoyances and was effective in the past. However, multiple reviews highlight that it is currently poorly maintained, leading to frequent failures requiring manual cookie acceptance. Ownership transfer to Avast raised privacy concerns. The extension also sometimes breaks website functionality and interferes with dark theme display, making it less reliable and trustworthy for many users.

Pros

Effectively blocks most cookie popups, reducing annoyance.
Previously was a great and functional extension.
Simple to use and works as intended when it functions properly.

Cons

Currently not well maintained or abandoned, leading to reduced effectiveness.
Causes website breakage due to blocking cookie prompts, requiring disabling on some sites.
Ownership change to Avast causes trust and privacy concerns among users.
Injects CSS class causing issues with dark themes on some websites.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

I don't care about cookies requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

I don't care about cookies has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
