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).
Didn’t that just accept most cookie banners? Sounds like a horrible idea to me unless you auto clear cookies all the time!
Accepting all cookies never was a good blocker.
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
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`Thank you! That is an informative link
IIRC, that doesn’t block cookies, it just blocks cookie warnings.
I personally use Consent-O-Matic nowdays.
I don't care about cookiessometimes broke website.Never had that issue with
Consent-O-Maticwhich 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.
That sounds awesome!
