Clear Glass

The problem

• Glassdoor.com and other similar websites now enforce users to both log in and to contribute with posts or ratings in order to access reviews and other content

The solution

• The Clear Glass extension removes aggressive tactics to obstruct use of the site

Websites included in this extension

• Glassdoor.com
• Teamblind.com
• Repvue.com

How it works

• Glassdoor.com and other similar websites block access on the client-side, but does not prevent data from being downloaded from their server when a user has not met the criteria to access content. Because of this design, client-side changes done within this extension can bypass these restrictions.

Limitations

• The nature of this extension being a Chrome extension content script, there is a small delay before access blockers are removed
• There are some components that require data from the server that is not provided to users who are not logged in. Logging in will be required to access all content.
• If Glassdoor.com or other websites included in this extension update their user validation in such a way that restricts user access through server-side limitations, this extension will no longer function.
