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.
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 no to the cookie box
That makes sense. It's probably an unnecessary list at this point to be honest. Also lmfao at Avast buying that extension. That sucks.
IIRC, that doesn't block cookies, it just blocks cookie warnings.
I personally use Consent-O-Matic nowdays.
I don't care about cookies sometimes broke website.
Never had that issue with Consent-O-Matic which automatically rejects all cookies while still making site usable.
I definitely have to check that out, is it another one of those "we can't reject consistant enough so we will just accept half of the banners" tho?
It doesn't accept banners / popups. When that doesn't know how to handle things, it just leave it to user to handle.
Most of the time it just works as intended.
uBlock Origin has filters to block cookie pop-ups. I consider the extension a must anyway, no need to download another one like IDCAC or Consent-o-matic
Didn't that just accept most cookie banners? Sounds like a horrible idea to me unless you auto clear cookies all the time!
I don't care about cookies addon was purchased from a spyware/malware company. Use the fork https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/istilldontcareaboutcookies/
I also use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/ and whitelist domains as needed

`Cookie extensions
❗️Sanitizing in-session is a false sense of privacy. They do nothing for IP tracking. Even Tor Browser does not sanitize in-session e.g. when you request a new circuit. A new ID requires both full sanitizing and a new IP. The same applies to Firefox
❗️Cookie extensions can lack APIs or implementation of them to properly sanitize
e.g. at the time of writing: Cookie Auto Delete` This is true but if you open tens of websites as many people do every day (some keep them open for months!), what kind of monstrous VPN setup should you have to have tens of IPs?
I don't think there's a realistic solution other than using TOR as much as you can bear..
CookieAutoDelete and Temporary Containers fool 99% of websites and trackers, especially with uBlock Origin it's the best you can get without losing convenience..IMHO
Accepting all cookies never was a good blocker.
Just use an incognito tab. You will get cookies for your browsing session and then when you close the tab, poof they are all gone
But all the incognito tabs share the same "container", if you keep a lot of tabs open like me, try the Temporary Container extension with automatic mode. Also CookieAutodelete on Auto (it deletes cookies and local storage after a tab is closed for e.g. 15s)
