EXIF Viewer Pro

Found out this was injecting GA on EVERY PAGE, with no way to disable, after trying to figure out why my own web app was trying to load a GA tracking gif despite me definitely not putting it there. Was disappointed to find out the source - this extension is supposed to be for examining images, it has no business injecting tracking code into every page I visit by default. If you want to add it to the page when I interact with the extension, that's one thing, but injecting it on every page indiscriminately is intrusive and borderline malicious. I have lots of extensions that actually are intended to modify every page and not a single one has that behavior except this one. I see that the dev said the "next version" would have the ability to disable this, but: a) Sending analytics to every page should be opt in, not opt out b) Considering that comment was 6 months ago, the dev is either not prioritizing this, or is having trouble with Mv3 (in which case the extension will be disabled soon anyway) If this gets removed or changed to opt-in (or at least only injected when there's an interaction with the extension) I'll happily change this rating

Careful! this extension is poorly implemented. Can take about 20% of your CPU. Also, lame GA tracking implementation: tracks way more than needed.

DO NOT INSTALL They secretly added Google Analytics tracking that *tracks every page you visit*. Their "privacy policy" claims they do not do this. This is illegal under GDPR so any EU citizen using this Extension could file a complaint against them.

Tracks every site visit using Google Analytics!

DOES NOT WORK! Other reviewers say the same exact thing. Maybe this worked at one point but it no longer works now. Very frustrating. I rarely write reviews but I wanted to warn anyone thinking about downloading and installing this to their chrome browser - don't do it. It's a complete waste of time. Sorry to burst your bubble but it doesn't work. I wrote this on 10/14/22. Thanks!

Doesn't seem to work, at all.

Has google analytics that tracks EVERY single page you visit. Reported.

Does not work and many of the 5 star reviews are obviously fake.

Be aware they add their own google analytics tracking to every single site you open so they're tracking everything you do.

this extension inserts Google Analytics in web page.

Simply doesn't work. Clicking the toolbar icon: nothing happens. Using the context menu option: nothing happens. Straight up uninstall. Not worth the time to install!

Didn't work at all.

This extension does not free the memory it takes when you open EXIF panel, even after you close it or close the tab. As a result, after just a few EXIF lookups, it consumes huge amounts of RAM. Don't use it.

This plugin exhausts my CPU in the background even when I'm not using it at all. Either there is a bug in the plugin or the plugin is mining crypto coins without consent.

Rubbish, flashes up info then goes straight to adverts.

Did not work for me.

It kills browser performance.

Stopped working in Chrome

Did not work for me :/

I click the icon and nothing happens

Doesn't work properly.

- Not able to open PDF files - Broken PayPal site - Injects custom stylesheets (which break my site) - ... Took my VERY LONG TIME to discover culprit :(

I messes up page loading in Flickr. Pretty annoying.

Yup. Breaks Chrome PDF viewer.

bugs pdfs can only view pdfs with extension disabled

This extension doesn't work. I clicked the gray icon on my toolbar, then clicked "EXIF Viewer", and it just brought up the page for the EXIF Viewer extension in the chrome web store, but I can't figure out how to make it show actual EXIF data.

It is blocking pdf from open on chrome.

Caused various web pages to crash and I could no longer open pdf files. Lots of time lost on this.

This EXIF Viewer Chrome extendion caused me several weeks of trouble until I found the solution. ================ This extension blocked my access to OneDrive when using the Chrome browser. ================ After DISABLING this extension, I was able to access OneDrive. ================ If other users have trouble accessing any websites, they may find it useful to disable this extension. I have now removed this extension.

Best EXIF viewer I've seen when it works, but with two flaws that make it unusable: (1) Can't open PDFs any more (2) Conflicts w/ RequireJS cause some pages to crash. Devs, I reproduced both these cases and it is certainly this extension that causes it. Reach out to me and I'll give you more details if necessary.

This is an extension I would love to use but it stops loading of pdf files in the browser, so has to go. And no reply from the developer as it has been reported multiple times.

With this extension enabled Chrome stopped showing PDF documents.

Discovered that this extension is responsible for all kinds of problems with Chrome, from PDFs not loading to interfering with sites that are loading data in the background (e.g. a particular annoyance is that it breaks multiple functionality within the PayPal site, including the transaction history and the new send money page).

Breaks PDF display.

It cripples Chrome: a lof of web pages and all PDFs won't load any longer with this extension enabled...

This extension breaks Chrome's ability to display PDFs inside the browser. Complete Junk!

When this extension is enabled, it blocks access to viewing PDF files in Chrome. It seems to interfere somehow with Chrome's build in PDF plugin. PDF's are just blank.

Breaks any website which uses Require JS.

As it doesn't work in my freshly installed Chrome with a local JPG image opened as a file - not opening any window with EXIF info whatsoever - nothing else but 1 star. The EXIF of the tested file is good, a similar plugin in Firefox displays the info.

Used to work great. Now breaks a number of web sites like Greentoe.com for one. Don't see how an exif viewer would do this but until it's fixed it's gone.

A lot of websites are crashing with this add-in. ASUS router admin page too.

Broke my UniFi Controller, broke a bunch of other websites. I never would have suspected an exif viewer to be causing these problems, and wasted weeks suspecting uBlock and other such things.

This plugin is preventing me from accessing the login page on the Nest and Udemy websites.

I dont understand how to use it. How do i see the exif data?

gps tagging does not work

No longer works.

gave it 1 star which is more than it deserves but thats the lowest google lets me rate it. Simply does not work.

Used to be great. Now it doesn't work

it doesn't work.

Does not do anything when clicking on the context menu entry.
