Hey everyone,<p>I've been using Privacy Pass to help cut down on those annoying CAPTCHAs while on VPN but I noticed something odd with the recent update that I wanted to get your thoughts on.<p>Pros:<p>- Helps reduce CAPTCHAs on some sites
- Open-source and maintained by Cloudflare<p>Cons:<p>- Recently started opening new tabs without my permission
- Asks for "attester" verification in a kind of intrusive way
- Interrupts browsing unexpectedly<p>So, here's the deal: the extension now opens a new tab without any warning, asking you to verify an "attester." I get that this might be for transparency, but it feels pretty disruptive and unexpected.<p>Has anyone else noticed this? How are you feeling about it? This new behavior seems a bit off, especially for an add-on that's supposed to make browsing smoother. It also seems to clash with Firefox's policies on unexpected actions and user experience but this is unconfirmed.<p>I've already reported this to Mozilla, hoping they'll take a look. In the meantime, I wanted to give everyone a heads-up. If you value a smooth browsing experience without unexpected interruptions, you might want to hold off.<p>What do you all think? How can Cloudflare developers balance transparency with keeping things user-friendly? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
