Review Summary
Users appreciate Do Not Track for effectively implementing the DNT header before Chrome included it, with easy installation and reliable synchronization across devices. It helps protect user privacy from advertisers. However, multiple users report significant issues: slow page loading or pages not loading at all, occasional browser hijacking with search redirects to Bing, and compatibility problems with some Chromium versions. Some also find the extension unresponsive or malfunctioning. Overall, it offers good privacy features but suffers from stability and security concerns according to repeated user feedback.
Pros
- Provides effective do not track functionality before Chrome natively supported it.
- Easy to install and reliable across multiple installations.

- Does not work properly in some versions of Chromium/Linux or older Chrome versions.
- Interface issues like not turning on or redirecting to reviews instead of functioning properly.
