2024-08-21 Xima it's ok
2024-08-18 Manfredi Pointless addon, it just doesn't work. I've tried it for months. Right now I'm trying to access a website from almost half an hour, the page keeps on saying "just a moment" while reloading itself againg and again. A nightmare. Fuck Cloudshare
2024-07-28 Firefox user 14735936 No longer works - now the interactive challenge shows "FAILURE!" Not worth the bandwidth to download!
2024-07-25 rhokstar I've been using Privacy Pass to help reduce CAPTCHAs, but a recent update has introduced some concerning behavior that potential users should be aware of. Pros: - Can help reduce CAPTCHAs on some websites - Open-source and maintained by Cloudflare Cons: - Recently started opening new tabs without user permission - Asks for "attester" verification in an intrusive manner - Interrupts browsing experience unexpectedly The extension now opens a new tab without warning, asking users to verify an "attester." While this might be intended to improve transparency, the implementation is disruptive and feels like a violation of user control. This behavior seems to go against Firefox's add-on policies regarding unexpected actions and user experience. It's particularly concerning for an extension that's supposed to improve browsing, not interrupt it. I've reported this to Mozilla for review. In the meantime, users should be aware of this intrusive behavior before installing. If you value a smooth browsing experience without unexpected interruptions, you might want to consider alternatives or wait for this issue to be addressed. I hope the developers can find a less disruptive way to implement their verification process. Until then, I can't recommend this extension.

2024-07-17 James E. LaBarre Installed on Firefox, and the extension *****CANNOT***** be enabled. It's just as broken as Cloudflare itself. This extension CLAIMS to be able to stop the perpetual "Verify you are human" loop, but obviously their programming of the extension is just as shoddy as their filtering site. Verify I'm Human???? Cloudflare doesn't even have humans to answer how to FOX their BROKEN system.
