Comment on It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox

Seriously? I had no idea. That’s kind of ironic if it is

Yeah, privacy badger and ghostery are no longer recommended, unlock origin will do their job (better).

What’s wrong with Privacy Badger? Isn’t that from EFF?

There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just not needed if FF blocks all 3rd party cookies outright. Privacy Badger was supposed to autodetect which 3rd party cookies were used to track you, there’s no point if they’re all blocked.
If you have sites that need 3rd party cookies to work please note you can add exceptions in FF settings.

Do I need to adjust any settings?

I’m surprised I haven’t heard this before. Thanks! I will proceed to only use uBlock Origin from now on (although I really enjoy the auto-reject cookies)

uBlock can disable cookie popups, go to settings, filters and then scroll down to annoyances. Enable AdGuard Cookiebanners and Easylist Cookiebanners
