2021-03-25 | Chris Lozeau | en | Was good, but unfortunately no longer updated or supported. I've just found Email Privacy Protector which seems to better anyway. | |
2024-11-14 | Michael Ruddock | en | Awesome, please update! | |

2024-08-20 | Guilherme Lopes M. F. | en | Very good extension! I hope the developer update it's to the manifest v3 (google chrome is very annoying) | |
2024-08-15 | Assad Khan | en | Great app, and one of the few where the developer makes an honest effort to update it. Highly recommend it. | |
2024-08-10 | jason cox | en | Does what says on the tin. Can you port it to Firefox extentions please? | |
2024-07-12 | Amir Rahmati | en | Great when it works, currently busted again. :( | |
2023-11-13 | Anna Lippert | en | Images are back when authorized, but the 'eye' icon is still not displayed. Please fix this. Thank you very much. (In the meantime, I grant this extension five stars, as it is a useful one when working properly.) March 11: I'm downgrading by two stars since the extension has been blocking all images again for several days ― having lost time looking for the problem elsewhere before realizing that it was simply here. March 12 : Thank you for getting it 'up and running' again! |
