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.

    It’s not enabled by default. I too just learned about this recently.

    Edit:

    On the topic of uBlock Origin, you can also use it to filter out content on the web version of Lemmy since it doesn’t have a native keyword filtering feature. Just add to “my filters” and swap in your own instance.

    For comments:
    feddit.uk##article.comment-node:has(div.comment-content:has(p:has-text(/elon/i)))

    For posts:
    feddit.uk##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text(/elon/i))

    For urls:
    feddit.uk##div.post-listing:has(a[href*="elon.com"])

        I have quite the extensive list I’ve been building over the past few years and so far my record is only 3 posts visible on the frontpage. Most of the time it’s nowhere that bad though, but I do notice that it’s putting in a lot of work.
