- (2025-03-27) Jacob Griffin: Clicking "full" or "enhanced" privacy disables "do not track" instead of enabling it rofl. This extension enables browser tracking. Apparently the dev takes the articles that claim companies ignore the do not track header to heart and carries it over to this extension. This needs to be changed. It's a stupid decision.
- (2024-05-29) AK xyz: I did not find fault with what is describes and does. Small footprint, no extra permission or access. It works - though it does allow other extensions to override it's settings! Hope it will be updated as and when new settings become relevant. Thank you.

- (2024-01-23) Kaci Balfany: Just added, Not sure how well it will work or if it does what I require. I want an extension that automatically selects "necessary cookies only" when on a website so that I don't have to worry about tracking. It'd be great if there was a more in-depth explanation of each of the settings and what they do for those unfamiliar with the terms. It seems pretty self-explanatory but it'd be great if there was a mini-guide for how to best use the extension and its suggested use.
