If you go to uBlock Origin’s settings and then select ‘Filter lists’, there’s a list maintained by EasyList and another by AdGuard that both block cookie notices. To my understanding, this isn’t enabled by default (at least it wasn’t when I installed uBO).
Apologies if this is common knowledge; I didn’t know about it until recently.
Why YSK: Cookie consent pop-ups are annoyances full of dark patterns designed to frustrate you into affirmatively opting into superfluous data collection and letting companies profit off your information. Saving just a few seconds on pages you browse adds up, and this is especially true if you use something like Cookie AutoDelete that makes your answers to these pop-ups transient.
There’s also the Consent-O-Matic browser extension to automatically decline cookies
Consent o Matic doesn’t just hide them but actually declines the banners actively. Maybe it has an impact on some statistics that will probably never matter.
I just enable every filter except for regional
Why not regional?
Well if you aren’t visiting . Kz, or . kz adjacent websites - you probably don’t need to worry about them.
Can anyone recommend a good self destruction cookie add on for Firefox?
Or a browser better than Firefox and Chrome, both for Linux and for Android?
Much appreciated!
For FireFox Cookie AutoDelete.
Neat, thanks.
I use another extension called “I don’t care about cookies” which is good, but does occasionally get confused.
