A Premium Subscription for Clicking “Reject All”
Before anything else, the developers should probably inspect their automated “developer response” system. After the first few pages of recent reviews, it appears to start attaching responses to reviews they plainly do not correspond to. Nothing inspires confidence in a premium technology product quite like watching its own automated customer-response system lose track of who it is talking to.
The app itself technically works. That is about the highest praise I can give it.
Super Agent is essentially the archetypal subscription-era product: identify a minor annoyance, package a convenience layer around tools and protections users already have, imply that the situation is scarier and more technically complicated than it really is, and then charge people repeatedly for the privilege.
Its ideal customer appears to be someone who is uncomfortable opening Safari settings, unwilling to Google “free cookie blocker Apple,” and sufficiently concerned by words like “malware,” “tracking,” and “privacy” that paying a subscription feels safer than learning what the software actually does.
There is also an amusing amount of “trust us” involved for a product marketed around privacy. I’m paraphrasing the developers’ responses here, but when users raise concerns about Safari reporting that the extension can access webpage contents, the answer seems to be essentially: Apple uses scary generic wording, we don’t actually read your pages, everything happens locally, we don’t keep logs, and we don’t collect that information.
Okay. Maybe all of that is completely true.
The problem is that, as an ordinary user, basically none of those assurances are independently inspectable. I cannot look inside the extension and verify that it never reads anything beyond what it needs, never transmits anything unexpected, and never retains logs. So the privacy argument eventually bottoms out at: grant the extension broad access and trust the company when it tells you that the broad access is being used very responsibly.
That is not evidence that the developers are secretly harvesting data. It is a reason to find the marketing posture a little funny. “Install our privacy product, grant it access to webpages, and trust our assurances about what happens afterward” is not quite the slam-dunk privacy proposition they seem to think it is.
Super Agent is not standing heroically between your iPhone and the cybercriminal underworld. Safari and iOS are doing the serious security and privacy work. This app is mostly dealing with consent prompts and browser annoyances.
Charging a recurring premium for that is like selling someone a subscription service that presses the “close door” button on their elevator.
Then there is the lifetime purchase. The sales pitch appears to be that, given enough years of paying the expensive subscription, eventually the expensive lifetime purchase starts looking reasonable. This is a fascinating pricing strategy because the strongest argument for one overpriced option is apparently the existence of another overpriced option.
It works. So does clicking “reject all.”
I eventually chose the cheaper technology.
doing it right
Useful
It’s not perfect but I’ve found it near enough to be worth the lifetime subscription.
Worst developer I have ever seen based on subscription
Paywall hijacks
Vraiment plaisant même si perfectible
Au final, quel confort ! je serais vraiment malheureux de devoir recommencer à cliquer, cliquer, cliquer….
