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.
Neat, thanks.
I use another extension called “I don’t care about cookies” which is good, but does occasionally get confused.
FYI, “I don’t care about cookies” is owned by Avast, and I can’t even find the official source code anymore.
This just accepts all cookies. The default should be to deny them which is what consent-o-matic tries to do. With ublock it’s like you’re ignoring the pop-up which would be the next best thing.
It does not accept them, does it? I have used it before, but stopped for some reason, but I can’t remember why exactly. I don’t think that was it, though.
