I have installed Super Agent to Safari and Firefox on my iMac, no problems.

For Firefox I prefer "I don't care about cookies".

I have installed Super Agent to Safari and Firefox on my iMac, no problems.

When I installed it in my iPad and enabled it according to the instructions it seemed to work at first - the check page said it was OK. But almost
immediately I started getting Cookie requests, and the check page reports that it doesn't have the necessary peermissions - although they are still shown as correctly set in Settings/Safari/Extensions.

Turning this off and on again, which sometimes fixes things, did not work.
I've even uninstalled the app (which also remaoves the extension) with n0 effect.

I emailed Super Agent for help some days ago - no reply.

Any suggestions? I do most of my browsing in Safari on my iPad, and would really like to get it going!

Not much I can suggest really, it’s been working fine for me on iMac and
iPad (iPadOS 16.1 now).

I take it you’ve checked the settings in the Extension, you need to go to
the Super Agent item, and click on the ‘All Websites’ in the ‘Permissions’
box. Mine is set to ‘Allow’. It can be set to ‘Ask’, but that kind of defeats the object IMO, or ‘Deny’, but then why have the app?

Weird. I left it in place for a coupe of days but turned off. I turned it on again yesterday, and the check said it was ail OK!
But is it? I'm still getting cookie requests!

I\ll see what happens today…I could always try updating to iPadOS 16, of course.

Still no reply tp my email to Super Agent asking got help.

John.
