  I occasionally do searches to see if there’s a blocker for those obnoxious, “Do you want to use the app?” lightboxes. To no avail. 😿

    You can make your own filters. Press the zap button to temporarily block something (to test) and the eyedropper to permenantly make a filter.

  Ublock is truly one of the 8 technological Wonders of the world.

  • Irelephant@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    What are the other 7?

    Every time I accidentally open another browser, I puke a little bit. I wonder how is it possible to live without uBlock Origin.

  Is there anything for all the “subscribe to newsletter” popups on news sites and online stores?

  • Hypocrite9554@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yes, those should be included under “Annoyances”

      I turned basically all of the optional filters on a few days ago at the advice of another lemming and I did not even realise until now that the internet had gotten noticeably less annoying.

  Bonus tip, you can install extensions on Firefox mobile and block those pesky ads too

  source

  • Scrollone@feddit.it ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Only on Android unfortuantely. On iOS, Firefox is just a skin for Safari with no plugin support (thanks Apple!).

      I’ve been using Brave on iOS - it works fine for me as an alternative to Firefox.

      On iOS

      See, that’s where you went wrong.

  Does it only block the pop-up or does it deny consent for anything but necessary cookies?

  Because that’s quite essential I think

    If you don’t click on yes. You haven’t given your consent

      In the US, it’s the opposite. The way the law is written, you have to OPT out. So they’re collecting the moment you land.

      I’ve set up a bunch of these cookie banners for US businesses. You can choose if you follow the EU version, or the CCPA version.

      If you don’t click any of the options and simply block the pop-up, it commonly breaks the site. Doesn’t matter what’s ethically right, you have to be practical.

  Man, this extension is vital for the internet. Do they take donations at all?

  source

  • perfectly_boiled_pizza@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    From the website:

    “I will not accept donations or sponsorships of any kind.”

    From Github:

    “If you ever want to contribute something, think about the people working hard to maintain the filter lists you are using, which are available to use by all for free.”

    Does it still work? Last few times I’ve tried it it didn’t do much.

      Not on Chrome, on Firefox it does wonders

  Or use I still don’t care about cookies

    Ublock has been slightly better in my experience, and this doesn’t require another extension.

    Thanks for sharing though!

      uBO is way better, especially if you also know how to make filters yourself.

    I’d like to throw consent-o-matic in as someone else suggested under one of my comments a while back :)

  On mobile you can use Consent-o-matic

    You can use uBO on firefox on android.

    source

    • PlasticExistence@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      You can use uBO on iOS now too. The Kagi search engine people have made a mobile browser (Orion) that supports Firefox and Chrome plugins!

      My web browsing experience has drastically improved since I was finally able to get uBO back since my switch away from Android.
