How reliable is the "Shinigami Eyes" browser extension for you? (lemmy.eco.br)

For those who don't know, it's a browser extension that marks a link to a group or person determined by how they act towards trans people.

I personally like this concept, but after reading the reviews on its Firefox add-ons page, it let me a bit worried. I found a Reddit post with one person commenting that someone marked their friends' blog as unwelcoming due to personal beef. On that same post, people were writing about how they used it just as a "suggestion".

So, returning to the question in the title, do you personally find this extension reliable/usable? Does it could have anything that should be worked better?

Plus some people using the plugin might just not understand the rules, and mark people who just are trans as green, instead of people who do pro trans activism or strongly voice support for us, like the rules say. So, for red names, maybe someone has never shared an opinion on trans people but they just give off a "vibe" that makes a person mark them red. Or, one could even be a troll or anti trans person who downloaded the plugin to start flagging wrong on purpose just to screw with us, I don't think there's any protection against that scenario. So you just can't know for sure.

There is an approval process before it shows up on everyone’s screens.
