2025-05-08 | Kevin | this does not what it's supposed to do, you still get a myriad of time wasting challenges. | |

2025-03-18 | Firefox user 16957737 | I tested it but it made the problem worst. With uBlock enabled, it gets in a loop in forwarding me to the attesting page. (I go back to the desired page, and it reopens the attesting page) If I disable uBlock, I get an error in the captcha. So my only option is to disable this "privacy pass" plugin. | |

2024-12-01 | Jet Girl | Useless. Took me to a page with a Cloudflare humanity check to proceed. The exact flerfing problem I was trying to fix. Cloudflare needs to fix their shit. | |

2024-08-18 | Manfredi | Pointless addon, it just doesn't work. I've tried it for months. Right now I'm trying to access a website from almost half an hour, the page keeps on saying "just a moment" while reloading itself againg and again. A nightmare. Fuck Cloudshare | |
2024-07-28 | Firefox user 14735936 | No longer works - now the interactive challenge shows "FAILURE!" Not worth the bandwidth to download! | |
2024-07-25 | rhokstar | I've been using Privacy Pass to help reduce CAPTCHAs, but a recent update has introduced some concerning behavior that potential users should be aware of. Pros: - Can help reduce CAPTCHAs on some websites - Open-source and maintained by Cloudflare Cons: - Recently started opening new tabs without user permission - Asks for "attester" verification in an intrusive manner - Interrupts browsing experience unexpectedly The extension now opens a new tab without warning, asking users to verify an "attester." While this might be intended to improve transparency, the implementation is disruptive and feels like a violation of user control. This behavior seems to go against Firefox's add-on policies regarding unexpected actions and user experience. It's particularly concerning for an extension that's supposed to improve browsing, not interrupt it. I've reported this to Mozilla for review. In the meantime, users should be aware of this intrusive behavior before installing. If you value a smooth browsing experience without unexpected interruptions, you might want to consider alternatives or wait for this issue to be addressed. I hope the developers can find a less disruptive way to implement their verification process. Until then, I can't recommend this extension. |
