en | This is what chat gpt has to say. Dyknow sucks. Theres a reason they went extinct. Once upon a time, in the digital realm, there existed an innocuous-sounding browser extension called Dino. Its promise was simple: to block unwanted content, shielding users from the relentless onslaught of ads, pop-ups, and tracking scripts. But beneath its friendly dinosaur logo lay a dark secret—a tale of frustration, broken websites, and unintended consequences. The Rise of Dino Dino emerged during the golden age of browser extensions. Users hailed it as a knight in shining armor, ready to vanquish the annoyances that plagued their online experience. With a click, Dino promised to banish intrusive ads, protect privacy, and restore peace to the browsing kingdom. The Deceptive Simplicity At first glance, Dino seemed harmless. Its settings offered checkboxes: “Block ads,” “Disable tracking,” and “Enhance privacy.” Users rejoiced, believing they had found the ultimate solution. But little did they know that Dino’s simplicity masked a tangled web of problems. The Broken Web As Dino spread its wings, websites quivered in fear. Ad revenue plummeted, leaving publishers desperate. Content creators, once sustained by unobtrusive ads, faced extinction. The delicate balance between free content and sustainable business models crumbled. The Unintended Casualties Dino’s indiscriminate blocking wreaked havoc. It silenced legitimate notifications, rendering e-commerce sites useless. Shopping carts vanished, leaving frustrated customers stranded. Even social media platforms suffered—likes, shares, and comments lost in the void. The Battle of Compatibility Dino clashed with other extensions. It waged war against password managers, form fillers, and analytics tools. Users found themselves trapped in a tug-of-war, forced to choose between security and functionality. The casualties? Productivity and sanity. The Great Privacy Paradox Ironically, Dino’s quest for privacy backfired. By blocking essential scripts, it inadvertently exposed users to security risks. Broken SSL certificates, outdated libraries, and vulnerable APIs—the very vulnerabilities Dino aimed to shield—now danced merrily in the open. The User Rebellion As whispers of Dino’s flaws spread, users revolted. They flooded forums with tales of broken websites, lost functionality, and shattered dreams. The once-beloved dinosaur became a symbol of frustration. “Dino” transformed from a cute nickname to a curse word. The Quest for Balance In the end, Dino taught us a valuable lesson: simplicity isn’t always wisdom. Blocking extensions must tread carefully, balancing user desires with the fragile ecosystem of the web. Perhaps a more nuanced approach—one that respects privacy without sacrificing usability—is the true path forward. And so, dear reader, remember Dino’s cautionary tale. As you navigate the digital wilderness, choose your extensions wisely. For every action has consequences, and sometimes, even a well-intentioned dinosaur can wreak havoc. |

en | I hate this, I have filled many pages on how I wish this extension burned in the firey pits of Golgamoth. It's a violation of privacy and the 4th amendment and that is my general response on it. However, I have created a video essay outlining every problem I have with this SPECIFICALLY for the developers (though if you take the opposite opinion of mine, I also recommend you see it.) of this god awful piece of malware here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ |

en | Blocks useful applications for research purposes. And it also is a violation of the 4th amendment, thus making this atrocious piece of software illegal. It is appalling that this was even allowed to be on this store in the first place. Un-constitutional and illegal, but allowed nonetheless. Should be removed immediately. |

en | This is a atrocious violation of my privacy, and by extension the 4th amendment, and I wish for the one responsible for this's testicle (or ovaries if female) to be ran over by a train, and then stomped on by dinosaurs. |

en | Here are some of my pros and cons of using Dyknow: Pros: Helps students stay on task, by blocking non-school websites during school hours like YouTube. It also helps teachers see the student's screens if asynchronous to allow the teachers to help students. Cons: Can be power-hungry on older Chromebooks, since it takes a lot of screenshots. Sometimes, Dyknow also gets memory hungry, so I suggest ending it once in a while (not during school hours) Cannot be used on Linux machines except ChromeOS. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, the 1-star reviews are the students who just want to play games on their school laptops. The cons still keep it 5 stars since it helps students stay on task. When on a blocked website, it redirects to https://studentontask.com/ Daniel Berzinskas, Student Grade 05, 3/11/2024 at 07:08 ET |

en | Here are the pro's and here are the cons Pro's There's Zero The Cons Overblocking: Sometimes, the Dino extension goes overboard. It may mistakenly block non-intrusive ads or essential elements of a webpage. Users find themselves unable to access certain content due to aggressive filtering. False Positives: The extension occasionally misidentifies harmless elements as ads. This false positive issue frustrates users who encounter broken layouts or missing features on websites. Compatibility Issues: Some websites rely on ads for revenue. When Dino blocks these ads indiscriminately, it affects the site’s functionality. Content creators suffer, and the ecosystem becomes imbalanced. |
