User reviews
Absolutely perfect addon! I am now able to see many sleazy disrespectful tech sites and review sites that try to force people to disable or turn-off privacy settings or browser security. Examples of such sites are howtogeek.com and gamerant.com though there are MANY more. I suggest using the "Moderate" setting in the addon for most sites.
