WesleeIs there any Firefox extension to automatically reject cookie popups?
Michael Veale@furzegulo consent-o-matic, made by @midasnouwens https://consentomatic.au.dk. the idontcareaboutcookies one doesn’t do what you want as it auto accepts them or blocks the notice, while consent-o-matic sends a legally binding reject signal.
i see, i’ll install it right away. thanks!
OtterIt would be cool if this one could get the “recommended” status from Firefox. Would get more installs that way
Works good with cookie autodelete addons.mozilla.org/sv-SE/…/cookie-autodelete/
Cookie AutoDelete – Hämta denna utökning för 🦊 Firefox (sv-SE)
Hämta Cookie AutoDelete för Firefox. Control your cookies! This WebExtension is inspired by Self Destructing Cookies. When a tab closes, any cookies not being used are automatically deleted. Keep the ones you trust (forever/until restart) while deleting the rest. Containers Supported
Use it with auto cookie delete
FYI That looks abandoned
Thanks will look into this
Something I didn’t realize I needed until I read this. Thanks for the post
@Weslee consent-o-matic, made by @midasnouwens https://consentomatic.au.dk. the one recommended below auto accepts them or blocks the notice, while consent-o-matic sends the legally binding reject signal.
I would also recommend consent-o-matic. It works really well, and has a really simple interface for letting the devs know when it doesn’t work.
They should detect if you’re in the EU and auto report the sites haha
Been using this a couple of weeks and it is great. Looking forward to more add-ons like this coming to Firefox for Android.
Does it work for Firefox on Android?
bloubzExtensions will soon be ported to mobile Firefox, if the developers do it
You can already use most extensions with Firefox mobile but its a pain in the ass… You have to create an add-on collection… Mozilla is corrupted to the bone nowadays
AzzuHaving a harder, unofficial way currently and soon an easy, official one is corrupt?
rnercleno, desktop only for now
ragicaIt works in the current Firefox for Android beta version.

This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.
Nice!
mintycactusFirefox Nightly has cool Cookie Banner Reduction feature, which will be available to stable eventually.
Oh nice! Can’t wait for it to come to stable build!
Yeah, currently scheduled for Firefox 120.
Not an answer, but a warning: I’ve tried a couple of them and they may break some sites and I found very difficult to debug (probably because how many addons I have). If you notice weird things, try disabling the addon.
I’ll try the recommmended Consent-O-Matic.
Sounds good, thank you!

Better use the fork I still don't care about cookies. The reason why is stated on the GitHub page.
Thanks, I didn’t know about this, have been using ‘i don’t care about cookies’ for ages. Mozilla should really let us know if an extension gets acquired.
That one looks abandoned as well though.
A Wild Mimic appears!I switched over thanks to you, didn’t know that avast acquired the original addon.
Avast bought it.
Thanks sir the note.
That’s what i use. Unfortunately it breaks some sites.
ZerushI use in Vivaldi blocker this filterlists, which can be added also in uBO, they are working fine.
I’m guessing that would also work on ublock origin on Firefox?
I think so, at least for me it works fine, never seen a cookie advice again. Try it
You can change your settings within firefox to dump all cookies on exit.
True, but there are some I want to keep. It’d be nice to tell the browser which sites cookies are ok to keep.
Not exactly what I’m after, but thanks for the reply anyway
Allowing cookies enables sites to gather information about you. If you delete cookies, they still got this information. Especially as there are ad tracking providers Tracking-Wall you by mail and so on
Blastboom Striceaddons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/popupoff/
Popupoff simply removes those pop ups and since you can’t see the dialog to accept the cookies it is like not having given consent to cookies. (It sometimes makes the site not work properly, but you can set global and site specific to mitigate the issues.)
I even asked the developer here to make sure.
I also managed to install it on my android, to do this follow this guide blog.mozilla.org/…/expanded-extension-support-in-…
Thanks! I think Firefox is getting native extension support soon,I’ll have a look into this one too
hyperspaceConsent-o-matic automatically goes through the cookie banner and makes sure everything is disabled instead of simply blocking the banner
SloganLessonsStrongly recommend this one. It’s also available for chromium, Safari, and iOS
Thank you, I’ll check it out
Ghostery has a never consent option, so the popups show up shortly and are automatically closed.
Doe not work 100% of times, but most times. For me, it’s perfectly suitable.
Thank you, I’ll check it out
adONisUblock origin, using the “annoyences” filter list
Omg, thank you so much!
akaik that doesn’t reject the cookies, which are accepted by default.
hikaru755Not if the site is actually GDPR compliant they are not. You are only allowed to set tracking cookies after consent has been obtained, which cannot be assumed before the visitor has made a choice.
FriendBestoUse uBlock. Either with a list or learn to use the selector tool to remove the overlays/scripts directly. That is what I do for the GF’s PC so she can watch YT.
I was hoping there is one that works for all pages without needing to select them manually
Fair, but you will be surprised how often people simply revisit the same sites, over and over. You do it once, it is done for life. Also, it takes like 3-4 seconds. It is worth the investment of a few seconds. Or at least, that is what I have found.
Possibly linuxWhy don’t you just clear them?
I’m not after a way to stop cookies, in after a way to stop the banner for cookie accept/decline
Wouldn’t that make tour browser unique?
uBlock Origin to block 3rd party JS.
NoScript to specifically allow certain functions of certain domains serving JS.
Both of these combined make sure I never see such banners because, well, no JS allowed for most things.
Also Cookie Autodelete with Firefox containers. Even if someone happened to store cookies in my browser, they are gone by the time I close the tab. Also FF containers prevent the proliferation of cookies across tabs if in different profiles.
Does noscript blocks unnecessary JavaScript automatically, or do we need to manually add rules?
NoScript blocks (almost) everything by default. You can then allow, temporarily allow, or selectively allow specific types of capabilities that JS from a domain can run, on either every page or on the specific FQDN. Or you can explicitly block the script(s).
The reason I said almost in the first line is because you can customise the default behaviour of NoScript to allow/disallow certain capabilities to scripts you haven’t provided custom permissions/encountered before.
This is very interesting, I will try right away.
