di Utent Firefox 13909246, seitsemän vuotta sittenBreaks too many sites, DuckDuckGo, Qwant and several others, even when those are whitelisted. The extension most likely includes browser-wide settings which remain active even if it is disabled for a given site.
The extension is praiseworthy and was adapted, as I understood it, from the Chrome extension, and maybe is that where sits the culprit.
One star because the extension is obviously not operational now, but five stars for the extension's very concern: privacy, anti-fingerprinting all in the scope of tracking, which is getting worse day by day.
So be kept up the improvable work.
EDIT with latest version 2018.5.7 : a TRUE progress!
DuckDuckGo, Qwant no longer break. The developer is reactive and obviously corrects, improves the extension according to feedback (and his GitHub page is the place to dialog).
Tough to deliver a rating when the racer is still a child. I believe more in sharing experiences than in ratings which anyway need to be explained. Because of my edit I'll keep 5 stars for the extension's purpose and switch from one to three stars, because I haven't tested yet enough sites in their relationship with the extension. Maybe 5/5 tomorrow or in the coming weeks?!
Anyway, I'm keeping now 'Privacy Possum' as it seems "operational", at least enough to bring more benefits than problems.

publicât ai seitsemän vuotta sittenHi, thank you for your report! I've submitted a fix for the DDG and Qwant breakages. Can you please let me know what other sites are broken? I'd like to fix them.
The bug on DDG & Qwant were caused by the same issue (fixed here https://github.com/cowlicks/privacypossum/commit/15db4394af5a79e05b41b750fc23db8aa5b1ac3d )
You are correct about this being a browser wide thing, currently, we inject anti-fingerprinting scripts in every frame. There is a solution to this, but due to limitations in the browser extension api it may make the extension less effective in other ways. I'm currently looking into this. But for now, I've made the anti-fingerprinting code more robust to errors.
Thanks,

- Valutade 2 su 5di Utent Firefox 17879311, yhdeksän kuukautta sittenUsed to be ground breaking, but it has not been updated since Jul 18, 2019. Now it seems to break a lot of sites. I wish it had a better interface so we could toggle global settings of what we wanted enabled and disabled. It seems with a lot of the new privacy laws, browsers are starting to build these features in.

- Valutade 5 su 5di geeknik, kaksi vuotta sittenI am always on the lookout for tools that can help protect my privacy online. Privacy Possum is one such Firefox add-on that has made a significant impact on my browsing experience.
Privacy Possum is designed to block common commercial tracking methods by reducing and falsifying the data gathered by tracking companies. This add-on is highly effective in preventing third-party cookies, referer headers, etag tracking, and browser fingerprinting, which are all commonly used to track users across the internet.
One of the things I appreciate most about Privacy Possum is its simplicity. The add-on runs silently in the background, requiring no user intervention. It is also open-source, which means that its code is transparent and can be reviewed by anyone, ensuring that there are no hidden privacy risks.
Privacy Possum is a fantastic addition to my privacy toolkit, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their online privacy. Its effectiveness in blocking various tracking methods, combined with its ease of use, makes it a must-have add-on for Firefox users. Give Privacy Possum a try and experience the benefits of a more private browsing experience for yourself! - Valutade 5 su 5di Billie, kaksi vuotta sitten
