2024-06-29 Davide The tracking is just horrible... why not just let me pay and stop all the tracking? Other than that it's a good service.

2023-02-04 Karl Emil Nikka It works great but lacks conditional permissions, i.e., it cannot be loaded on click or only on specific domains. This is a limitation with Firefox’ handling of all Manifest v2 add-ons, so the plugin must be updated to Manifest v3 to give us the same privacy controls as it already does in Chromium based browsers.
