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.

    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)
