Oh the hilarious irony. Can anyone recommend an up to date Firefox addon that gets rid of these fucking popups, automatically declining all but necessary? I've looked at a few but I remember folks here recommending some that I can't now for the life if me remember what they were. Thanks!

This is the best way. If the cookie popup isnât blocked, go in ublock settings and enable the adguard annoyances list
If itâs still not blocked do it yourself with the element picker (not zapper), takes a second
Thanks, was not aware of this one đ
Yes, but preferably go over the list of enabled filterlists in itâs settings and tick a few more boxes.
This is the way. I just zap anything that bugs me if itâs not caught by the lists
đ I didnât know, thanks!!!
Why is it that even when you refuse necessary cookies the site still seems to be 100% functional
You shouldnt be actually able to refuse necessary cookies as the site needs to function even if you click 'decline all' by law.
If a site does break, report it to the supervisory authority of your country.
If you are in the US.. hahahahah.
Why report if a site breaks? Itâs not illegal to have a broken website, as long as it still respects your choice.
All the ânecessaryâ cookies are login stuff. If you never log in, it wonât affect you.
In case you want to share you data for them to sell, so not 100% functional
I use I still donât care about cookies, which blocks the banners; and NoScript, which blocks JavaScript and other crap that would bring up the popup in the first place.
I may stop using IDCAC, however, as some other comments have shown me that I can just use an annoyances blocklist in uBO instead. The fewer extensions I have, the less fingerprintable I am, or so Iâm told.
If you try to use a pihole? Or a DNS that block your wanted domains?
Also âI still donât care about cookiesâ will automatically accept cookies It canât reject.
When itâs needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on whatâs easier to do).
Better use uBO and if It canât block the cookie banner for some reason, that site is not worth your time and effort !
I wasnât aware of this. Thanks for the tip!
Doesnât blocking JavaScript brakes most websites nowadays?
The popular ones, yes, but most of what Iâm looking for would still work in Dillo, though it would look a little janky in that particular browser.
For everything else, I selectively unblock certain domains. If I trust the site, I make this persistent. If I donât, this is temporary and Librewolf clears any cookies, settings, caches, or tokens that the site may have given me when I close the window.

Great extension.
Cookies banners is only a thing because the website operators are such pigs with your data.
I use one called âI donât care about cookiesâ, seems to work well.
Avast bought it.
There is âI still donât care about cookiesâ which is a fork of the original or use any other plugins mentioned.
For me, this is what works best now:
Librewolf
uBlock Origin
CanvasBlocker
raindrop.io not as an extension but a pinned tab, mostly for convenience to keep my saved websites and articles in one place, if anyone knows anything better, or more useful, or open source, let me know

If youâre a selfhoster, try Wallabag (open source)
Yeah, Iâve started searching for options and now I am thinking about it, there is LinkAce tooâŚ
Thatâs good. I prefer using the olâ Firefox hardened.
I still donât care about cookies (not to be confused by i donât care about cookies, that one got sold to some company and the âstillâ one is a community fork from before the sale)

And please, if you use consent-o-matic, report the pages it doesn't work on. It's very easy to do and results in shit getting fixed.
