Is this still being maintained?

Just wondering if this is still being maintained.

The last time I used it, it wasn't functional.

Hi. I can no longer maintain the extension so if you'd like to work on it, please let me know.

I don't know how to code but IMO with privacy becoming more widly sought after it could be very helpful.

Me and @dhowe will start working to try make TrackMeNot functional again. We need first to have an overview of what is needed. @vtoubiana, any advice/suggestion?

This extension just got disabled on Edge (chromium) because they 'found that it contained malware'

Malware = anything that doesn't help Google sell stolen user data to advertisers, which, perhaps surprisingly, is still their only truly viable business (82% of revenue in 2021)

Some would consider it a sad state of affairs that this handful of companies (Google, Apple, Facebook, etc) have such unilateral control over what software they allow us to use...

That's why something like this should be installed on an isolated device.
