Review summary

Referer Control is valued for its ability to blacklist referers from specific sites and simple global toggling. Users appreciate it helping with sites that require specific referer handling. However, the extension suffers from persistent bugs like losing settings after restarts or cache clearing, confusing per-site rule management, and compatibility issues. The add-on appears unsupported by its developer, resulting in no updates or bug fixes, prompting some users to switch to alternatives.

Pros

Allows blacklisting referers from specific websites, a unique and useful feature.
Simple to use for toggling referers on and off globally.
Helpful for bypassing referer restrictions on certain image sites like Sankaku, Danbooru, and Pixiv.
Works well with some routers for remote access.
Generally appreciated for its core functionality when working properly.

Cons

Frequently loses settings after browser restart or cache clearing, requiring reconfiguration.
Extension is no longer maintained, with no bug fixes or updates planned.
Per-site rule settings are confusing and provide unclear feedback on active rules.
Compatibility issues causing Content Security Policy (CSP) violations on some sites (e.g., Apple store).
Extension may stop working properly after Firefox updates, leading users to seek alternatives.
