I don't see anything in that thread about consent banners, only that privacy badger tries to identify trackers not on its blocklist, a feature I don't want. I also don't understand why blocking consent to receive cookies is at all useful when you can simply block the cookie after consent.
On the off chance you're talking about blocking cookie consent banners (i.e. the popups on websites that ask your consent to send certain cookies), uBlock does that.
I'm sure your PiHole and USG almost fully cover any downsides to your below average choice in browser extension.
something works well ≠ whole thing good
uBlock does not do that for a cohort of websites for which I have tested it.
You're acting like I haven't tested this setup when I've told you that I have. Again, the evidence in front of your own eyes is a good place to start so try some testing yourself to understand where the limits of each reside.
Turn on "Easylist Cookies" in uBlock. Also, I feel like a broken record, but why wouldn't you just use an extension like this?
Also, if uBlock's list is missing a cookie banner, it takes two clicks to remove it permanently with the element zapper.
There is no evidence in front my eyes?
You're taking unnecessary issue with a working setup. I've demonstrated why your concerns don't bear fruit. There is nothing left to discuss here.
Lmao working ≠ perfect, and unnecessary ≠ invalid. You haven't demonstrated anything besides linking to a Hacker News post that didn't talk about the feature you said it did.
There is nothing left to discuss here.
Okay kid, you keep on that road to perfection.
Okay kid, you keep on looking for a valid reason to use Privacy Badger. 💀
