It seems that this is an interesting concept, hobbled in execution.

Not only do we have to install the extension and restart Firefox but we then have to identify each domain that we wish to opt-out of. There is not a list of suggested candidates, so we are left to research each offending organization, one-by-one, get the correct URL and do it again, and again, and again…

I uninstalled this crapware extension immediately.

I block all cookies except for the sites where I have log in accounts. My adware scanner keeps saying no adware was found. I may uninstall it soon. :)

I also keep the Flash Cookie folders cleaned out everyday.

Opera and Safari for Windows are the only two Windows browsers that don’t allow you to do this. I uninstalled them.

I also use Advanced System Optomizer paid version.

I tried the NAI Consumer Opt Out Protector Add-On for Firefox.

As soon as the browser restarted of installing Firefox 3.6 locked up on the first command I gave it. I was able to get Firefox to run enough to get to the add-ons to disable NAI. The browser ran normally then.

There seems to be a direct correlation between NAI running and Firefox not responding on my computer.

I was able to opt out of most cookies on there site though and am thankful for that.
