Over time, many developers felt that the extension had gradually shifted away from its original purpose by introducing Pro upsells, promotional webviews, donation prompts, notification spam, and additional keyboard shortcuts.
Eco Console Log is a community fork that brings the experience back to what it was always meant to be:

Pro upsells & donation nagging
Pilaton · April 15, 2026
It's a very simple tool, but you've already gone on and on about your Pro ad.
M.Burak Kalkan · January 31, 2026
It constantly pushes you to upgrade to the pro version as if it's some kind of magic tool. You are not a space aircraft software dude, you are just a console log tool!! It wasn't like this before. Shame..

1. same as what other users have reported, even after donation it just kept bugging for more donations the next day, and every day
2. it started to set a bunch of keyboard shortcuts that conflicts with my other keyboard shortcuts and now I really have to uninstall this extension because of this.
it used to be a simple config-less logger that can be used right our of the box, but IDK why it's just getting more annoying than just being a logger. I really loved it so I donated to support the dev but it's time to say goodbye now unfortunately.

Used to be good, now pushes for payment and barely works...
Bloat, spam & adware-like behavior
改名 不想 · January 23, 2026
I used to really like this software because it was simple and efficient. But things have changed. The plugin has become more and more bloated, and the frequent updates and advertising notifications are extremely annoying. Goodbye — this is a garbage plugin.

This went from a good extension to pretty much Adware. Not only it constantly nags you by opening new tabs every time it updates, or pollutes the sidebar with "tips" (and, of course, trying to get you to pay for Pro). Every time you think it's hit rock bottom, you're surprised again.
Turns out, there's a new low. Every hit option+shift+P instead of Cmd+Shift+P by mistake? Well, this extension is counting on that! because it just registered itself option+shift+P as "Activate Turbo Pro Bundle", in case you need a keyboard shortcut for a one-time license activation.
The developer will say that this is not spam nor forced. Or that asking you to pay to use software isn't nagging. That these are all "opt out" and you can disable them! Until he adds another thing you have to disable.
Just save yourself the trouble, or you'll end up like me: tolerating it every small annoyance until the last drop, and then you're in the review section writing a wall of text.

Great way to scare your long-time users with spam, promotions, and useless features.
Charles Ho · September 18, 2025
Too many annoying notifications make the extension distracting to use. It would be much better if there were fewer alerts or an option to customize them.

way too much changelog/notifications spam, uninstalling
Martin Tedjawardhana · July 28, 2025
This extension used to be decent. But recently it started spamming through the changelog / updated page. A full page of bla bla about how great this extension is, support, premium, etc.
It's a console log injector FFS.
Ted · July 31, 2025
A very useful extension which takes a lot of work to maintain, but man the frequent web view for every little update feels spammy. I use several machines with VSCode so it seems like I get the "TCL is great" page every other day.
Lots of work goes into every open source project. This is the only one that beats me over the head with it. Maybe do a web view for every major update instead of every little fix.
There must be a way to get the recognition/money/whatever you are looking for without pissing off your users.
Other than that, it's a great piece of code and I sincerely thank you. I don't mean to sound unappreciative because I am.
Stability & scope creep
Roronoazoro · August 12, 2025
This extension was supposed to be a 5-star extension, but in a very short time, it turned itself into a zero-star garbage.
I recommend everyone uninstall it right now!
As a log extension, it should have stayed simple, but it keeps updating and introducing all sorts of issues, especially the one that causes VSCode intellisense to become unresponsive, which is just speechless.
