User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Shariff Wrapper WordPress plugin for its fast loading times, privacy compliance with GDPR, and minimal impact on performance. It offers a wide range of customizable, professional-looking social media buttons without relying on third-party services, making it suitable for self-hosting and legal conformity. Users also value the detailed documentation and efficient support provided, which is better than many paid plugins. However, some drawbacks include issues with JavaScript inline colocation, lack of updates and support over time, occasional CSS loading problems, and limited AMP support. Despite these issues, many users find it reliable and highly recommend it for privacy-focused social sharing.

I only complain of some unnecessary use of JavaScript, and its inline colocation that makes it difficult to implement a strict CSP-SOP and keep it working. In the meanwhile the main principle of this project is the important: Avoid 3rd party stuff to fulfill a real self-hosting and have a legal conformance.
