No, use uBlock Origin.
No, use uBlock Origin.
Why would anyone use a browser that requires you to login, especially after that: https://kibty.town/blog/arc/
Nah, uBlock Origin is the must have, Privacy Badger doesn’t bring anything more.
No one is going to read first hand what you are up to. It’s just companies trying to automate pricing based on data they collect so they can up prices when you need something the most. That’s just one simple example so you can understand but there are plenty of other things you can do with the collected data.
This is also important because they’ll just straight up sell it to data brokers that’ll aggregate it, make it searchable and sell access to it to just anybody. And even if you feel your are not an interesting target now you never know how it’ll be in the futur, once the data is out you can’t do much.
You can re-use those but so does anyone, so you should consider those accounts as public.
Arkenfox put it in the “Don’t bother” list: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions#-dont-bother
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.
That’s not necessarily that useful.
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”).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Because it doesn’t bring anything more than Firefox in strict mode and uBlock Origin.
It’s not, use uBlock Origin.
Drop IDCAC and Privacy Badger, add consent-o-matic, sponsorblock and bypass paywall clean.
Check Arkenfox for Firefox config and extension recommendations.

Only use temp mails for unimportant, one-shot account, otherwise use an email relay.
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.
Just Hi-rez being Hi-rez. They have a long history of shutting down games. I’m never getting any game from them anymore.
It feels like you are missing the point on purpose. I don’t know why, this feels like laziness.
Criticizing the existence of billionaires and being antiwork are two different things. And being antiwork is different than wanting to do nothing. No one wants to do nothing, except in cases of major depressions.
A lot of antiwork post can lack depth but there are really interesting criticism to be made about work as it’s organized these days. I suggest you dig the subject.
