If you go to uBlock Origin’s settings and then select ‘Filter lists’, there’s a list maintained by EasyList and another by AdGuard that both block cookie notices. To my understanding, this isn’t enabled by default (at least it wasn’t when I installed uBO).

Apologies if this is common knowledge; I didn’t know about it until recently.


Why YSK: Cookie consent pop-ups are annoyances full of dark patterns designed to frustrate you into affirmatively opting into superfluous data collection and letting companies profit off your information. Saving just a few seconds on pages you browse adds up, and this is especially true if you use something like Cookie AutoDelete that makes your answers to these pop-ups transient.

    FYI, “I don’t care about cookies” is owned by Avast, and I can’t even find the official source code anymore.

      Ok now you’ve convinced me. Meanwhile I’ve noticed no troubles adopting the UBO cookies filter on Firefox mobile, time to do the same on my laptop. Thanks
