2024-11-12 Firefox user 17314929 Esta extensión funciona deteniendo la reproducción automática de los vídeos, pero consigue, por ejemplo, que Spotify no reproduzca las canciones seguidas, sino que se para cuando reproduce una, entonces hay que volver a clicar en continuar para que pase a la siguiente canción. Un desastre. La he tenido que desinstalar al instante. (This extension works by detaining the automatic playback of the videos, but achieves, for example, that Spotify does not reproduce the songs in a row, but stops when one reproduces one, then you have to click again to continue so that it goes to the next song. A disaster I have had to uninstall instantly.)
2024-11-05 netcat Breaks *://www.zdf.de/live-tv. With preference "Disable preloading" UNchecked it works fine. This should be the default setting.

2024-08-19 FuckOff Blokování je fajn, ale správa stránek, kde má být povolen a kde ne, editovat nejde. Bohužel způsobuje pád některých stránek, kde ani video není a blokuje ověřování "Are you human" např. od cloudfare.

2024-06-19 Firefox user 14163788 Unfortunately, this extension causes issues with OnlyOffice integration with NextCloud. I have no idea why but it causes a Permission denied to access property "dispatchEvent" on cross-origin object. I cannot edit any documents with this enabled.
