 * Hi [@rory01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rory01/),
 * I think the mistake is related to auto-optimizing. You can summarize and minify
   the javascript files. This works well in the rarest cases and Helpful also has
   problems with it.
 * The console (F12 in Google Chrome) also displays errors regarding Auto-Optimize.
   The error only occurs if something in Javascript doesn’t work, then Helpful can’t
   save something because it doesn’t work for Helpful.
 * There’s not much I can do about that. This is also written by all plugins that
   offer such functions.

 * [@rory01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rory01/) I have seen that no cookies
   are set. Maybe one of your plugins is blocking cookies? Helpful needs cookies
   to know if a user has already voted.

 * Hi Pixelbart,
 * Thank you for your quick reply!
 * I will look in to Autoptimiz and the cookie problem. Maybe i can leave the .JS
   out of the magnification.
 * Kind regard

 * Thanks for your feedback. `get_browser()` is not configured correctly on your
   server. The message should only appear if you set `WP_DEBUG` to `true`.
 * In one of the future updates I will disable browser detection with `get_browser()`
   or add it as an option, because apparently a lot of people can’t use the PHP 
   extension for `get_browser()`.
 * The function is not so important for Helpful, because it only tries to find the
   browser of the user who is sending the feedback form. This information is then
   normally stored. Since I didn’t want to work with third-party services in Helpful,
   I used the `get_browser()` PHP extension.
 * Next time, please create your own thread here in the forum so that I will be 
   notified. I could have answered you much faster 🙂
