What does HackerNews think of Cookie-AutoDelete?

uBlock Origin with all available filter lists enabled (except the one for Mobile pages, if you're on dekstop).

https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies to reject all tracking consent requests.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account... for subdomains you want to log into but still want to access the main and other domains without being connected. For instance, I have it set always open mail.google.com in the Work container so that I can log into Gmail but still search google.com, navigate google.com/maps (etc) outside the work account.

Then, install https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete and set it to delete all data from all domains expect the ones you want to stay logged into (Google for instance… but only inside the Work container mentioned above). Then, all websites data (including cookies) will be auto-deleted a few seconds after your close all tabs from that domain. You have to enable the auto-cleaning and support for containers.

You can tweak a few more things but that should be enough.

I also recommend the awesome https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea... add-on but only for users who support some media financially. It's fine to workaround paywalls (such a bad system) but good journalists still needs to be paid somehow.

Idem with https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock

As for mobile, I use the excellent https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/ on Android. You can have the above add-ons there too, but you need to use Collections for that (as explained here: https://www.androidpolice.com/install-add-on-extension-mozil...). But this won't be necessary soon https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2023/08/10/prepare-your-fire...

By the way, Firefox will soon get rid off all cookies banner without the need for "I still don't care about cookies" add-on: https://alternativeto.net/news/2023/6/firefox-115-beta-relea...

https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Dont-Care-About-Cookies

(which is a maintained fork of the original I don't care about cookies extension, recently bought by Avast)

with https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete

This setup will automatically accept or reject, whichever works, the cookie nonsense and get rid of them once you're done with your tab. CAD comes with a friendly interface to white/greylist cookies you want to keep.

One of the default blocklist for uBlock Origin aims to remove cookie banners too, but a lot of them cannot be simply nuked that way, hence the above method.

My solution is using Cookie auto delete [1] which deletes cookies after a set time and I don't care about cookies [2] which removes the annoying banners and popups.

Does what it says on the tin.

Goes along nicely with something like Privacy Badger, and removes non-whitelisted cookies once a site's tabs are closed.

Use with I Don't Care About Cookies: https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/ to avoid all the EU cookie banners.
