User Reviews

Users praise the add‑on’s strong, ScriptSafe/NoScript‑style control and its effectiveness at blocking trackers and speeding browsing. Major complaints repeated across reviews: slow performance, lack of clear documentation/UI (not for non‑technical users), buggy config/save and sync behavior causing lost or erroring settings, and site breakage that’s hard to debug.
Pros
  • Provides granular control over JavaScript and page elements (NoScript/ScriptSafe-style control).
  • Effectively blocks trackers and exposes many third‑party connections, improving privacy.
  • Can speed up browsing by preventing unwanted content from loading.
  • Faithful/powerful for advanced users — praised by long‑time ScriptSafe users and works well when configured.
Cons
  • Slow to load and noticeably sluggish to configure or apply settings.
  • Poor documentation and user interface — steep learning curve; not suitable for average users.
  • Configuration saving/cloud sync is buggy or inconsistent; settings may not persist across sessions or browsers.
  • Can break websites (e.g., extension/store pages) and is hard to diagnose from the UI; no clear alerts when the addon is disabled.
