## Review summary

Users appreciate WhatCampaign for quietly preventing sites from blocking navigation and working well in most cases, even with external links. However, recurring issues include infinite reload loops on sites like TikTok and Pinterest, and occasional bugs like opening duplicate tabs. These problems can significantly disrupt browsing, sometimes interacting poorly with other privacy extensions. Overall, it functions effectively but has stability issues on certain popular platforms.

### Pros

- Runs seamlessly in the background without being intrusive most of the time
- Effectively prevents websites from interfering with browser navigation (e.g., blocking back button)
- Works across various websites and even with links from external applications like email clients
- Helps users detect sites that aggressively prevent navigation as a 'canary' for tracking behavior

### Cons

- Causes infinite reload loops on some sites like TikTok and Pinterest, disrupting usability
- Sometimes opens links both in current and new tabs, leading to annoyance
- May conflict with other privacy extensions, causing unexpected behaviors
- Reload loops affect not just the problematic tab but also other tabs, requiring closing and refreshing or restarting the browser
