It's bought by Avast. I immediately uninstalled it when I learned about the news. No way that they don't want get a return on investment by e.g. selling your data.
Consent-o-matic is better (actually sets the minimum amount of cookies) and is developed by university employees, whom I trust more.
We also have the community build I Still Don't Care About Cookies
Why not just add the I don't care about cookies list to ublock origin? The list itself is fine. It's the extension that I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. They can't collect your data without the extension....
It sometimes breaks sites because it just blocks the dialog, but doesn't actually answer what the dialog wants to know (i.e. reject all cookies).
Technically websites must not track you before you consented to the cookies, but I'm not confident most sites implemented it this way :/
I think it is meant to press
noto the cookie boxThat makes sense. It's probably an unnecessary list at this point to be honest. Also lmfao at Avast buying that extension. That sucks.
