| 2025-01-19 |  | | en | Please, revert to the old U.I. as this seems like its useless now. turning it off changes nothing, i can no longer select what i wanna allow/disallow. I could go on, but i wont. Just revert this apps u.i. back to how it used to be, or give control back to the people who had this for several years! *i do NOT like this new update/U.I.!* |
| 2025-01-18 |  | | en | I don't know if this new update made the extension useless like some are claiming, but it sure did mess up the UI completely. No way to see any details on what the extension is actually blocking or doing. No way to disable the number on the icon that displays active blocks. I hate visual clutter pointlessly drawing attention to useless information. I don't need to know how many things are being blocked at any second. I use these blockers to minimize distractions, not to introduce new ones. |
| 2025-01-09 |  | | en | Completely worthless now b/c of the V3 nonsense. It's blocking legitimate websites and things I pay money for! So it's getting disabled until you change it back or figure out a way to make this new version function like the old version. |
| 2025-01-09 |  | | en | Please revert it to how it was the extension is now trash because of the change. |
| 2025-01-09 |  | | en | This extension is basically useless now. As much as Manifest V3 sucks, castrating the app for the sake of V3 conformance without providing an alternative legacy version that maintained the useful features of the extension/labelling this as a "Lite" version (similar to what uBlock Origin did), it now offers very little reason to use this anymore :( Removing the useful functionality of this extension, and replacing it with no amount of granularity for which domains can be blocked makes this extension basically useless. Sometimes, the default filters (which cannot be changed in the new version) can break certain websites (captchas, SSOs, etc...) and without that level of granularity to toggle certain domains, it's impossible to use without compromising privacy (Ad Trackers, social media embeds, etc...). I'm a little saddened that the excuse for nerfing a perfectly good privacy extension was being "forced" by Google, because it wasn't the only path to choose. I won't be changing my review, nor will I be using this version of the extension until the features that made this extension even worth installing are restored, and I'll just use an older build instead. |
| 2024-12-24 |  | | en | Would be great to see an update that kept in conformance with Chrome's latest requirements. |
| 2024-12-05 |  | | en | I have been using it for more than 5 years and it does the job pretty nicely. |
| 2024-10-24 |  | | en | "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Getting this message from Google about my chromium based browser extension. I hope there are plans to update to Google Chrome's latest standard. |
| 2024-08-27 |  | | en | Great, using for long, but problem that whitelist page is probably not working last months. |
