Review Summary
Users praise 'Don't track me Google' for effectively removing trackers from URLs, speeding up browsing, and enhancing privacy by avoiding redirects in Google services. However, many report it no longer works as intended due to Google's tracking updates using JavaScript, causes breakage in Google Slides Presenter View, and affects Gmail's image attachment behavior. Compatibility issues exist on some browsers like Opera, and users sometimes need to tweak settings for proper operation. Overall, the extension is valued for privacy improvements but faces challenges with recent Google changes and certain feature conflicts.
