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•1h 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•56m ago
This extension gives you more choice than denying or allowing everything though, you get granular choice automatically applied to all websites where it works
gempir•48m ago
Breaks many websites though and you'll be wondering why something doesn't work and then you have to remember you checked that ublock checkbox a few months ago.
benjojo12•39m ago
I think in the last 12 months of using that unlock list I've only counted less than five times where sites have broken with that list enabled, I don't have to even disable the entire list. You just disable u-block for that specific site
thevinchi•22m ago
Until this moment, I did the same thing… but right now I realize, this behavior incentivizes a domain owner to intentionally break their site, to trick the visitor to disable their blocker.

Then the browser: refreshes the page, downloadz all the thingz… presents cookie banner.

I’ve been using uBlock (or Brave) for years now, and when “something doesn’t work right” the first thing I often do is lower my shields… :facepalm:

From now on, I’ll just bounce. Keep your cookies, I’m not hungry.

Fraaaank•48m ago
> According to the EU law if you don’t click accept it’s equivalent to denying.

The result is the same. Technically there's no such thing as denying, only providing (explicit) consent. If consent is required and no consent is provided, then there is no ground for processing.

atoav•21m ago
Also: the consent has to be informed consent. Me clicking away a nag banner, even if I click "accept" isn't informed consent by the definition of the law.

You want to share my data with your 300+ "partners" legally? Good luck informing me about all the ways in which every of those single partners is using my data.

Rygian•17m ago
How do you object to the site's legitimate interest use of your personal data? That is a legal grounds for processing, which can be enabled by default as long as you are provided with an option to actively object.

pietz•1h 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•1h 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•1h 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•1h 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•1h 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•56m 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.
TylerE•52m ago
Believe it or not some of us don't actually give a damn, we just want the fucking nags to go away.
jatari•38m ago
Well the extension is called "I don't care about cookies", not "I care deeply about my privacy"
XzetaU8•48m ago
I don't feel ok that Avast bought this extension though https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/whats-new/acquisiti...

Instead i use this https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies

IanCal•28m ago
Th consent is about tracking and your data, not specifically cookies. If you accept them tracking and selling your data then deleting cookies only impacts one way that happens.
rtbruhan00•1h 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•1h ago
Does this work better than built-in Firefox feature?
bcye•58m ago
It seems the feature you are referencing was deprecated?

It always impresses me how its actually easy not to need these banners yet everyone will consistently participate in the civil disobedience of annoying their users. No doubt in the hope of making people mad at the EU.

To the point that people are worried when cookie banners are not required now. I have had a few worried conversations on why our site doesn’t have a cookie banner.

The answer is simple, we don’t track our users, and login is explicit consent and functionality which doesn’t require a prompt under GDPR.

HPsquared•10m ago
You need a "no cookies here" banner.
jojobas•12m ago
Combine this with auto-delete of cookies except for your selection of sites and you're good.
