by Firefox user 13666733, 6 years agoThe license for this add-on is falsely stated here as GNU GPL 3.0. This add-on in fact also includes two proprietary (non-free, not open source) third-party software products, as stated on the add-on's github page (https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect). Claiming that the add-on is free software and licensed exclusively under GNU GPL 3.0 is highly deceptive, dishonest and inaccurate. Please rectify this and include the licenses of all software parts of the add-on on its official Mozilla Firefox add-ons page.
I've now reported this issue to the authors, to amo-admins@mozilla.org, via the form on its AMO page and on Mozilla's forum (https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/information-about-add-on-stated-incorrectly-by-authors-on-amo/23377). All with no effect, the mistake remains. Apparently any add-on developer can just claim anything they want about their add-on, there is no control. It's good to be aware that addons.mozilla.org can't be trusted and doesn't really care to provide accurate information about add-ons.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 5717054, 10 days agoAVG now flags this as malware. I tried to report this to AVG, but not sure how to do that without spending a lot of time. I may have to remove this extension to prevent the multiple pop-ups from AVG on Firefox and and other browsers where I have this extension installed.
- Rated 1 out of 5by JoeJupa, 11 days agoAntivirus starting to flag Disconnect as a threat. Something has changed with Disconnect. Ran for years with NP. DO NOT trust this addon.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13744747, 11 days agoI would've rated this add-on 4 stars until a few days ago, when it began blocking Twitter/X website. Disabling the Firefox (v126.0 64-bit) Enhanced Tracking Protection did NOT solve the problem. As soon as I disabled the Disconnect add-on, however, Twitter/X loaded without any problems. Please fix!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18422724, 14 days agoEven though I don't have strict enabled in FF 126.0, this extension stops me from going to X. All was fine before
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17624452, 16 days ago"Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com" Twitter have something against this extension

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17970086, 2 months agoFirefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection already uses Disconnect's lists.
- Rated 3 out of 5by pulsar14, 2 months agoIcon color should be visible both in light & dark theme. if You keep it to black (almost invisible when the browser is in dark mode), at least add a light outline color (e.g. white)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Pí H, 3 months agoMir gefällt vorallem die Option Visualize Pages, sprich die optische Darstellung mit welchen anderen Webseiten man verbunden ist. Sehr aufschlussreich.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17628517, 5 months agoREAD THIS COMMENT, you NEEDN'T install this extension when you using Firefox.
Firefox built-in tracking protection have all features of this extension and ALREADY use Disconnect's filter list, and it's up-to-date. This extension has been obsoleted (last update was on 2020), so it will break website and doesn't filter new tracking link. - Rated 5 out of 5by 吳昱, 5 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Janky, 7 months agoI'd say obsolete, slight bit of research and ublock filters do the trick better.
