par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13909246 de Firefox, il y a 8 ansBreaks too many sites, DuckDuckGo, Qwant and several others, even when those are whitelisted. The extension most likely includes browser-wide settings which remain active even if it is disabled for a given site.
The extension is praiseworthy and was adapted, as I understood it, from the Chrome extension, and maybe is that where sits the culprit.
One star because the extension is obviously not operational now, but five stars for the extension's very concern: privacy, anti-fingerprinting all in the scope of tracking, which is getting worse day by day.
So be kept up the improvable work.
EDIT with latest version 2018.5.7 : a TRUE progress!
DuckDuckGo, Qwant no longer break. The developer is reactive and obviously corrects, improves the extension according to feedback (and his GitHub page is the place to dialog).
Tough to deliver a rating when the racer is still a child. I believe more in sharing experiences than in ratings which anyway need to be explained. Because of my edit I'll keep 5 stars for the extension's purpose and switch from one to three stars, because I haven't tested yet enough sites in their relationship with the extension. Maybe 5/5 tomorrow or in the coming weeks?!
Anyway, I'm keeping now 'Privacy Possum' as it seems "operational", at least enough to bring more benefits than problems.

Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 8 ansHi, thank you for your report! I've submitted a fix for the DDG and Qwant breakages. Can you please let me know what other sites are broken? I'd like to fix them.
The bug on DDG & Qwant were caused by the same issue (fixed here https://github.com/cowlicks/privacypossum/commit/15db4394af5a79e05b41b750fc23db8aa5b1ac3d )
You are correct about this being a browser wide thing, currently, we inject anti-fingerprinting scripts in every frame. There is a solution to this, but due to limitations in the browser extension api it may make the extension less effective in other ways. I'm currently looking into this. But for now, I've made the anti-fingerprinting code more robust to errors.
Thanks,

- Noté 2 sur 5par Marf, il y a 2 ansUsed to be ground breaking, but it has not been updated since Jul 18, 2019. Now it seems to break a lot of sites. I wish it had a better interface so we could toggle global settings of what we wanted enabled and disabled. It seems with a lot of the new privacy laws, browsers are starting to build these features in.
