## Review summary

This Firefox add-on was originally effective in bypassing Photobucket's image embedding restrictions, allowing users to view blocked images. However, since it hasn't been updated since 2017 and Photobucket has altered their code and paywall, the extension no longer functions for most users. Many report broken or blurry images and lament the lack of ongoing support, especially compared to Chrome alternatives that remain updated.

### Pros

- Initially worked well for viewing previously blocked Photobucket images.
- Simple solution appreciated by users who successfully used it.
- Was effective upon installation before Photobucket changes rendered it useless.

### Cons

- Currently does not work due to Photobucket code changes and lack of updates since 2017.
- Users report seeing broken or blurry images instead of fixed embeds.
- No recent maintenance or updates to keep up with Photobucket's paywall changes.
