User reviews

10 Years of use, and wow, the fact that Chrome is now removing the V2 manifest and causing this to break is bad. Looking for a browser that supports about 15 of my extensions that will die with manifest v3. Also, this has been almost flawless of an app all of these years. The last fix I recall that changed this for the better was the ability to sync across browsers! The fact that I can export my lists with a simple file out of the config is great. Yes, I needed to spend time allowing sites, but that is the point of managing your security! This has been a power users tool for all of these years

I've been using this for many years, sad to see it go off support. Does anyone have an alternative? I loved browsing with scripts off and enabling pieces as needed.
