On some websites

Extension doesn't work on forms provided. Maybe due to forms code used or because they offer a opt-out-all button. I don't know if you decided not to change checkboxes via extension on websites offering an all opt-out button.

Thanks for your work, it is very much appreciated.

I have yet to check theses websites, however it's likely that they use some kind of custom checkboxes based around buttons for their GDPR forms, which would explain why they escape detection by this extension.

I would need to change a few things to have a domain based filter for these to work, but I'm fairly busy this week so maybe later.

Update: it seems to have something to do with privacy-center.org, but I can't load their website.

Ok I've finally been able to check. No there is no mecanism in unchecker that checks for an "all opt-out button", but the extension simply does not detect "deactivate" buttons because it would require to maintain a list of them in all languages.

In most situations, using the "Click all similar buttons" feature on one of the block buttons would untick them all, but it's simply here to click the all opt-out button.
