Regular user here. Cant live without this addon, I absolutely love this. Its been a while since I have to manually dismiss a consent popup. Although the redirects from Google and company can get a bit annoying.
cocoto•54m ago
Simply enable the “cookie notices” list in ublock origin (available on every platform now, even iOS). According to the EU law if you don’t click accept it’s equivalent to denying.
bcye•7m ago
This popup gives you more choice than denying or allowing everything though, you get granular choice automatically applied to all websites where it works
pietz•51m ago
This idea/execution isn't new right? Can someone explain what makes this different/better? Is this the ublock Origin of cookie banner hiders?
mort96•37m ago
It goes through the "reject all tracking" flow. Other solutions automate clicking "accept all tracking" (since that's usually simpler), or just hide the pop-ups.
jadtz•39m ago
I use this extension, but I am still always bombarded with the pop-ups, not sure if I set it up wrong or its not that useful.
zevv•33m ago
What works pretty well for me is the "i don't care about cookies" extension for firefox; my default privacy policy is to throw away cookies when the browser restarts, which I do a few times per day anway.
Semaphor•18m ago
Works pretty well for advertisers as well, as that fails back to allowing all tracking, of which cookies are only a tiny amount
johndough•6m ago
That extension might allow tracking. From their Chrome add-on page:

    When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do).
Deleting cookies is insufficient because of browser fingerprinting, which you just consented to.

Believe it or not some of us don't actually give a damn, we just want the fucking nags to go away.
rtbruhan00•23m ago
It’s the first extension I install on a new machine to keep my browsing flow from breaking every 5 seconds. Truly a 'quality of life' essential.
cx0der•12m ago
Does this work better than built-in Firefox feature?
bcye•8m ago
It seems the feature you are referencing was deprecated?
