FAQ

How can I verify this addon works?

You can open the developer console (after you activated it in BetterDiscord settings) and look at the 'Network' tab. There shouldn't be any requests made to the science endpoint.

For checking the headers, click on any non-asset (e.g. no image) request and look at the bottom of 'Request Headers'. There shouldn't be the headers mentioned above.

Will it be featured on betterdiscord.app?

Probably not as this plugin modifies global functions which is prohibited in the Plugin Guidelines.

Is this the same as 'DoNotTrack' from Zerebos?

No, this plugin

• does not block the Process Monitor.
• does block request headers, which 'DoNotTrack' doesn't.
