Just added, Not sure how well it will work or if it does what I require. I want an extension that automatically selects "necessary cookies only" when on a website so that I don't have to worry about tracking. It'd be great if there was a more in-depth explanation of each of the settings and what they do for those unfamiliar with the terms. It seems pretty self-explanatory but it'd be great if there was a mini-guide for how to best use the extension and its suggested use.
