      EDIT: Ignore my blind confidence. CAD is (mostly) broken in recent FF versions. (See ivn’s reply to this post).

      Consent-o-Matic with Cookie Auto Delete and Firefox’s Multi-Account Container tabs covers it all nicely for me.

      Cookie banners get handled, cookies I don’t explicitly want to keep automatically disappear when I leave the site/close the tab, and those I do want to keep can be given their own containers to keep them separated.

        Cookie autodelete doesn’t work with strict mode and you should use strict mode. Just drop it.

        You don’t need an extension to auto remove cookies with Firefox.

          You’re right. I’ll be damned. That’ll teach me to set-and-forget then not keep up with changes to Firefox and their effects on extensions. Thanks for the heads up.

            Here’s how to auto-delete cookies without an extension: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/blob/128.0/user.js#L669

            Set privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown and privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage (I don’t know if privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies is still needed) to true. To allow a website to keep cookies do CTRL+I on the address bar then check “Set cookie” in the Permissions tab.

      I use uBlock Origin’s picker mode instead. It lets you select which element you want block. It works on other annoying notices, popus and annoying stuff not just cookie notices

        Because it doesn’t bring anything more than Firefox in strict mode and uBlock Origin.

            Not exactly.

            uBlock Origin blocks the widgets (with the “EasyList – Social Widgets” blocklist, I don’t remember if it’s on by default). As would any other blocklist based blocked do like Privacy Badger, uBO is just better.

            FF’s strict mode has something called Total Cookie Protection that makes it so Facebook widget on site A cannot read the cookie dropped by the Fackebook widget on site B. It isolate 3rd party cookies for each website.

        Yeah, use an email relay service like Firefox Relay, SimpleLogin, the one from Proton if you have an account with them (that’s SimpleLogin behind)…

        You can create email aliases, that will relay the email to your main address. Create a new alias for each website so they can’t use your email address to correlate your identity and you can close it anytime, you can even configure an alias to only allow a set amount of messages and auto-close afterward.

        Addy.io gives you email aliases as not to expose your actual email address. Everything gets funnelled into a single inbox of your choosing still. And the great thing is that if you use a unique email alias for all services, you know instantly who leaked your email address if you start getting spam. :D

        Don’t give out your email to spammers. Most legitimate businesses might send quite a lot of mail, but it’s very often easy to unsubscribe so do that.

          No shit Sherlock. The real cause of spammers getting your email is through data breaches. The only thing you can do about that is not use your personal mail address for every single website you create an account for.

        I don’t see its usefulness, uBlock Origin’s “Cookie Notices” list does the same thing.

        For consent forms consent-o-matic is better, IDCAC / ISDCAC was not created for this.

          doesn’t consent o matic just accept cookies when it doesn’t know how to reject them?

            Consent-o-matic is about consent forms, so it’ll fill the consent forms giving, by default, the least consent possible. If it doesn’t know how to handle a form it’ll just not auto-fill it so you’ll have to do it yourself. It’s not just about cookies, they are just one common way to acquire the data. IDCAC will just hide the form, because it was made to hide cookie notices and later extended to do the same for consent forms. According to the law not filling the form, not giving explicit consent, is like refusing it.

            Anyway, none of these extension touch cookies directly, they are only about notice and consent forms. It’s up to the website to act accordingly. And none of this will do anything about necessary cookies, or more precisely, about any data deemed necessary, however it’s collected.

        Why would someone use that instead of uBlock origin cookie filter?

        Not using the addon, but I simply didn’t know uBlock can do that.

        iirc Windows Defender does a decent job. However, if you are a JavaScript developer, try to add node_modules to the exceptions, unless you don’t care much about the performance hit.

        I personally have stopped running antivirus on Windows a couple years ago. Since I run most, if not all, untrusted software in VMs, I didn’t see the point of wasting performance. On the host, I only run Firefox and Steam/Epic games.

        I then moved to Linux and I have 2 GPUs; one for the host and one for VMs with games. But that’s probably a different story.

          Does windows defender go crazy constantly scanning the files or something? I have a TON of machines running automated tasks using node and any drop in CPU usage would be much appreciated.

    IDCAC should not be on this list since it was compromised, ABP-style. consent-o-matic is probably better but the most direct replacement is “I Still Don’t Care About Cookies”.

        Cookie notices and consent forms are two different things. The first comes from the ePrivacy Directive while the second comes from the GDPR. Consent forms are not only about cookies, the law doesn’t even specify cookies and it’s often using confusing phrasing (like “allow to use personal data collected through cookies or other means”).

      Sponsorblock to auto skip sponsor segments, or even non music parts of music on YouTube. Or interaction reminders, or end credits, etc can make it a little bit how you want it

      I use uBlock Origin on Firefox and I’ve never even seen the semblance of an ad.

      Are you using Chrome, and have they implemented V3, yet?
