A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Say "goodbye" to cookies and cookie banners with vanilla Firefox (waveform.social)

For those that don't know, Firefox has in-built support for automatically rejecting cookies and blocking the cookie banners from popping up.

To enable this feature, go to about:config, and perform the following:

  • change cookiebanners.service.mode from 0 to 2

To have this functionality in Private browsing mode, you should also:

  • change cookiebanners.service.mode.privateBrowsing from 0 to 2.

All Power to the People!

edit: (credit for this information goes to this lemming). Apparently, mode 2 means reject all or fall back to accept all if there is no Reject All button. Mode 1 only hits a Reject All button if available but ignores others.

or use Consent-O-Matic to automatically reject all the non-essential cookies https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/

It’s good but nowhere near as good as I-Dont-Like-Cookies was. Shame that guy sold out. Consent-O-Matic still seems to miss a lot of consent screens.

There is a community version called "I still don't care about cookies" https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Dont-Care-About-Cookies
