This is a very valuable addon that I recommend using. It catches a lot of duplicate accounts.

However, after it catches possible duplicates, you need to take a lot of time to compare accounts to see if it really concerns a the same person. This addon does not report on important match factors which ties accounts together. Every day of the year I have to spend a LOT of time on this while 90% can just be automated.

The last update was January 2016. I had expected a yearly feature release for an addon which costs 48 + BFO.
Meanwhile browsers have implemented many privacy features which reduces the effectiveness of this addon.

This would have been a 5 star review if the above was addressed.

Thank you for your review. If you have suggestions how the "missing 90% automated actions" can be achieved, please leave a note at the support forum for this add-on at our web site. This add-on already makes it possible to whitelist accounts to not match with certain other accounts. We unfortunately cannot match "persons" but only "computers". If the same hardware is used by 2 persons, it will be detected as multiple and would have to be manually whitelisted by a mod or admin. There will be at least 1 more update for the XF 1.x branch removing the Flash detection method (which unfortunately will also remove cross browser detection). We know that many privacy features of browsers are in fact a problem when detecting multiple accounts. We will try to find new detection methods for the XF 2.x branch of this add-on and are open for suggestions.

Rating as average, the addon adds 4-5 seconds to forums otherwise < 1 second load time. It does however do a very good job of catching multiple accounts.

Thanks for your review. The add-on is coded to be as much resource-efficient as possible and tries to only load when necessary. There is even a setting to reduce the additional load for larger forums. In our tests, the add-on -when loaded- adds a few milliseconds. If you experience a second or more, there has to be something wrong. Please open a support ticket at our site, so we can help you with debugging,
