My favourite add-on, together with uBlock Origin. Unfortunately, has sold out to commercial data-grabbing interests (Avast). Do NOT use this addon if you value any sort of privacy. Untrustworthy, and should lose its 'recommended' label ASAP.

Furthermore, I don't buy the developer's argument that the add-on still does what it's supposed to do. The goal of accepting minimal cookies is to minimize privacy concerns. A useless and, frankly, absurd feature when the new ownership has quite the shady past in the data mining department.

Sadly it can't be trusted anymore...

Sadly this addon can't be trusted anymore. I know that the development of addons isn't really financially viable and that the addon will still work in the future. But selling out to a company like avast is really a punch in the face.

avast is such a trustworthy company that at one point firefox forbid their addons on this browser (german news article): https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Mozilla-blockiert-Firefox-Addons-von-Avast-und-AVG-4602939.html

Also:
"They show that the Avast antivirus program installed on a person's computer collects data, and that Jumpshot repackages it into various different products that are then sold to many of the largest companies in the world." (https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjdkq7/avast-antivirus-sells-user-browsing-data-investigation)

A brilliant add-on that now simply can't be trusted as the developer sold it to Avast, a company with a shady history of selling user data to third parties, including browsing history, Google Maps GPS co-ordinates, lists of watched YouTube videos etc.

Just Google for "Avast user data" and you'll see why this acquisition is not great news for users of this add-on.

Sold to Avast - unfortunately not trustworthy anymore

sold to avast, a snakeoil company who sell user data. avoid like the plague

Sorry but can't use it after being acquired by Avast. You can add a list to Ublock though https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/abp/

Maybe if you open-sourced it people would reconsider

I do not trust an addon owned by Avast on my browser

Avast's spyware

Got sold to Avast which is a snake oil salesman (antivirus vendor) that sells your private data.

Although this add-on will surely continue to work as it has always done in regards to removing cookie warnings.

The simple fact that it's been acquired by Avast Software s.r.o., means concerns toward user data being sold and used without consent just skyrocketed.

From a usability point-of-view It's still a great add-on. But from a user privacy point-of-view it just hit rock bottom.

Personally I'm jumping ship and going with an alternative instead since I value my privacy.

Avast maffia

Can't believe the creator sold out to a shitty company called Avast.

fuck avast

Verkauft jetzt Daten weiter :-)

Huge privacy concern since acquisition by Avast.
