If you go to uBlock Origin’s settings and then select ‘Filter lists’, there’s a list maintained by EasyList and another by AdGuard that both block cookie notices. To my understanding, this isn’t enabled by default (at least it wasn’t when I installed uBO).

Apologies if this is common knowledge; I didn’t know about it until recently.


Why YSK: Cookie consent pop-ups are annoyances full of dark patterns designed to frustrate you into affirmatively opting into superfluous data collection and letting companies profit off your information. Saving just a few seconds on pages you browse adds up, and this is especially true if you use something like Cookie AutoDelete that makes your answers to these pop-ups transient.

    Can anyone recommend a good self destruction cookie add on for Firefox?

    Or a browser better than Firefox and Chrome, both for Linux and for Android?

    Much appreciated!

      If I recall, there’s actually a setting in Firefox that automatically deletes all cookies when you close the browser.

      LibreWolf is a fork from Firefox. It is a much better alternative for privacy, and deletes cookies by default. You can also configure which pages you want to maintain cookies, e.g. for automatic login (if that’s something you want)

      my solution is to use container tabs with temporary containers. every new tab or a different website gets a fresh session with no cookies.
