On Firefox check out the extension named Consent-O-Matic.
Sadly it doesn’t always work.
60 percent of the time, it works, all the time.
Seriously, it works in most cases, so it’ll still improve the situation from having to go through the prompts on all sites to going through them on some sites.
It has a “report this site as broken” button to help improve it.
Thanks, I’ll check that out!
Never heard of this before, thanks!
Works for Safari on iOS as well.
Other than dedicated extensions there is a filter to enable in ublock origin under the annoyances section for cookie popups
Ublock origin is the answer to so many questions
The condom of the internet
I hope it never breaks.
Thanks for mentioning this, I have been using it for years and never cared to look it up within the settings of it… Yeah it works that well.
This is the real answer
ublock Origin, add the filter list “EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices”.
It tries to deny by default.on Firefox Desktop go to about:config and toggle cookiebanners.service.mode and toggle it from 0 to 1. You can also put it on 2 but 2 accepts the cookies if it can’t figure out how to reject. Whereas one always auto rejects when possible and if it can’t figure it out, it will just not do anything although this is very rare and leave it up to you
Thank you!
Consent-O-Matic addon, although it often fails, and the uBlock filter list for specifically this. Covers the absolute majority of sites I typically end up visiting. I hope one day in the future the EU enforces the “Do Not Track” browser option to be a binding rejection of all third party cookies.
If using Android, the Ghostery browser has an option to auto-reject these.
Same as on desktop, ghostery is great (the extension for Firefox)
Just know they have a history of selling user data. Also, I believe uBO covers what ghostery does now so you don’t really need it anymore if you already have uBO.
There is a Firefox extension called “I don’t care about cookies” and since I’ve installed it, I haven’t seen any pop-ups like these anymore. But if you have uBlock Origin installed already, better follow the advice of other commenters ;)
Low reviews with many saying avast took over this extension.
Another addon I heard of was “I dont care about cookies”
So it must press accept or what?
Mostly through extensions. Someone mentioned Consent-O-Matic - I tend to just whitelist JS required for the page to function as much as I need it to (yes, a lot of the internet is broken for me but I don’t care) so I hardly ever see such pop-ups
That’s what the companies want you to do. That’s why it’s so annoying. You’re really just going to go along with it?
Adguard ad blocker is fantastic for Android and desktop, although it is not free, in my opinion it is worth the price. It blocks all annoying things, including popups.
Unlock Origin is a solid free choice, a close second in performance.
uBlockOrigin has a ‘block all pop-ups on this site’ button. When they chose to use this tactic, I prefer an extension called ‘Block site’ … you click the button, answer the question ‘yes’ and it will not let you go there again by accident.
Most of the time I just close the tab. Shitty popup sites aren’t worth my time
That is pretty much all the Internet tabs boy.
