Do you enjoy our new Internet #cookiepower? I find the whole cookies agreements thing useless. It would be ideal if @firefox could allow a "Accept All COokies" button in the settings and so it automatically answers this question for me. I don't care who has my cookies. I really don't. Honestly.

The "Consent-o-matic" extension does this, you can set which cookies agreement you're fine with and it will fill the forms automagically

Oh man I didn’t know this existed. Thank you so much.

These hashtag/link filled headlines are really getting annoying lately. And yes, I know it is to work around the inadequacies of the micro-blogging concept, I just don't care.

@taladar I don't understand.

~~That’s a downside of the browser GUI~~, it doesn’t look like that in voyagerapp, for example.

edit: actually, it doesn’t look like on reddthat’s website for me either. Maybe there’s a setting that changes how it’s rendered inline?

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Your screenshots looks like it completely omitted the word Firefox which doesn't seem ideal either.

I see that sh.itjust.works is still on Lemmy 0.18, while reddthat.com is on 0.19. My instance is also running 0.19 and I see the same as @mateomaui@reddthat.com, so I think this is a difference between frontend versions.

Anybody's guess how different app clients handle such things.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

That makes sense, wouldn’t have guessed sh.itjust.works is on the old BE.

edit: and lemmy.world? Why the rollback?

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

0.19 has a lot of federation and other bugs.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

oh, I thought the main issues were fixed in 0.19.1.

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Never really checked that. I guess that explains why sh.itjust.works is still usable unlike my other account on feddit.de which throws errors every other action I take and has all those federation issues.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

Huh, true, I didn’t notice that. Don’t see anything in settings that would affect it. Looks the same for me in Firefox on desktop and on iOS.

I don’t care who has my cookies. I really don’t. Honestly.

[–] electro1@infosec.pub 4 points 10 months ago

I just set FF to delete all cookies when it closes, so there is less chance of Cookie hijacking

There is also an extension called Cookie Autodelete, but its not a good idea to use more than two extensions, if you're worried about fingerprinting

[–] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 10 months ago

I still don't care about cookies is a Firefox extension that removes any cookie warning (thus you don't accept and the site can't use them, or at least shouldn't). It's free and open-source and not bought by Avast (unlike the I don't care about cookies extension). UBlock origin also has anti-cookie filters that you can easily enable in it's settings.

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 1 points 10 months ago

I would prefer to automatically reject all, instead.
