Features & Capabilities

It is our legal right to protect our privacy and personal data, by choosing when to share them or not. Web pages on the other hand are trying to comply with the law.

The last years, due to the GDPR, a huge number of webpages adopted cookie consent popup mechanics, in an effort to capture an "accept all" click.

This extension gives back the privacy control to the user by hiding consent request popup and cookie accept banners and thus enforcing privacy by default. The extension silently notifies the user of the existence of the popup or banner. Users that want to review blocked consent requests are able to whitelist the website and then select the appropriate option on the consent mechanic.

This extension does not collect any data.

Is PrivacyPopUpBlock Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

PrivacyPopUpBlock requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

PrivacyPopUpBlock may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
