2024-12-21 John I rather like the extension but as has been noted by others it breaks google sheets and also breaks google docs (albeit to a lesser extent). If this were fixed or a way provided to fix it, I would gladly give 5 stars and recommend to everyone.

2024-12-17 Marooned Breaks Google Spreadsheet, with this addon enabled all charts from spreadsheet disappear. No way to whitelist spreadsheet domain so the only way is to disable the whole extension.

2024-12-12 Firefox user 12397002 2024-12-12 Update: After years of existence, it still doesn't provide a simple way of adding exceptions, other than manipulating the rules file. Today, I found that it somehow breaks functionality in Google Sheets. When the extension is enabled, basic keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl-F or Ctrl-H don't work. --- Old review: This extension would be great… if it didn't break 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴. The worst being 3-D Secure payment redirections. I end up leaving it disabled most of the time. Maybe the first feature that this extension would have required is an easily manageable custom whitelist. I'll have to look into the contribution requirements one of those days…
2024-12-11 Firefox user 18726380 It breaks google sheet functions, I noticed the filters in sheet not working any more and had to disable add-ons an re enable them one by one to track which one was breaking it
2024-12-08 Quitch A great idea, but needs a way to define exclusions. Breaks desirable behaviour, for example, using Amazon wish lists.

2024-12-04 Steven Crane I like the idea, but it breaks the function of links in google sheets. Disabled and they work fine. Happy to try work-arounds or help with troubleshooting if that's helpful.
