User reviews

Convenient way to make your choices *once* and apply them to every site you visit. Lets you know it's working without getting in your way.

Fantastic extension, if you're the kind of user who can't browse without an adblocker, you won't be able to browse without this after trying it.

Addison Reilly, 2025-02-22

Installed and first 3 sites (heise.de, computerbild.de and bmw.de) I tried and it was not working: It seemed to "click around" and at the end cookie popup was still displayed! Very disappointing and completely useless... Then I installed good old "I don't care about cookies" extension and reloaded "heise.de" website - cockie popup was immediately gone! So unfortunately this extension is pretty useless - rather stay with "I don't care about cookies" which at least works on most of the websites.
