User reviews

Works like a charm, does exactly what it says it does! Increases browsing speed & privacy; would love to see a CDN emulator extension, disqus is extremely slow to load!

So far, so good. Disgust ... I mean disqus is terrible s/w, at least on mobile. Just slightly better than wordpress. But a quick test indicates that clicking will send me to where I want to go, not where disqus thinks I want to go at the moment.

Disqus redirection is blocked by our firewall - this plugin has saved me a ton of effort when it comes to getting comment links working. Not much noticeable impact on performance thus far!
