DONT use the “I Don’t Care About Cookies” plugin. It was sold to Avast. The same company that stole users information and sold it ON A PRIVACY PRODUCT illegally for years causing them to get sued for 16 million. (slap on the wrist tbh)

No, use consent-o-matic, which is even configurable and thus better in every way.
You fools. You absolute buffoons. Clearly you should be using the open source, free (beer) web browser I cooked up in my basement
no thanks i’m not a fan of webkit

Why would someone use that instead of uBlock origin cookie filter?
Its really best to keep browser extensions as few as possible for fingerprinting resistance
To OP/readers you’re OK with extensions this would be a better pick imo (read installation instructions)
Why would someone use that instead of uBlock origin cookie filter?
Not using the addon, but I simply didn’t know uBlock can do that.
Oh yeah, I gotta get rid of Avast, it keeps flagging things that straight up aren’t viruses, what’s a good alternative?
iirc Windows Defender does a decent job. However, if you are a JavaScript developer, try to add node_modules to the exceptions, unless you don’t care much about the performance hit.
I personally have stopped running antivirus on Windows a couple years ago. Since I run most, if not all, untrusted software in VMs, I didn’t see the point of wasting performance. On the host, I only run Firefox and Steam/Epic games.
I then moved to Linux and I have 2 GPUs; one for the host and one for VMs with games. But that’s probably a different story.
ry to add node_modules to the exceptions, unless you don’t care much about the performance hit.
Does windows defender go crazy constantly scanning the files or something? I have a TON of machines running automated tasks using node and any drop in CPU usage would be much appreciated.
archive.is or archive.ph is what I use for getting past paywalls. If it’s a hard membership paywall there won’t be much you can do about it. If it’s just a splash screen, they work by removing the annoying stuff that prevents you from going further since they have to package the content for SEO. The archive sites basically grab that content as if they were going to index it for a search engine, but then they present it in human readable format instead.
Ublock origin already has privacy badger and no cookies functionality. Worst case nothing gets blocked. Also slower internet for you.
IDCAC should not be on this list since it was compromised, ABP-style. consent-o-matic is probably better but the most direct replacement is “I Still Don’t Care About Cookies”.
Doesn’t the “EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices” filter in uBlock’s settings do the same thing as IDCAC / consent-o-matic?
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”).
iI think consentomatic scripts the opt-out interaction. idcac probably just hides the popup.
Install the LibRedirect extension and fiddle a bit with the settings to automatically redirect to privacy respecting alternatives away from ad heavy sites.
Anyone know if there is a proper solution to block ads on twitch? ublock doesn’t work for me.
VPN set to a country that doesn’t get served ads.
Anything on Pixeltris’ TwitchAdSolutions should work. I use the ublock filter and that works great.
I use one that works 90% of the time. I can’t remember the exact name so I’ll check when I get home but it’s something like “Purple Adblocker”.
try something from the scripts section on here:
https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions?tab=readme-ov-fileA note: Some days it will not work and ads will go through. Don’t panic. You only need to wait until the next day at most for this to get patched though. They’ve very good at keeping up!
Bypass paywall clean Firefox is a really good addition as well
Be careful with using Privacy Badger and uBO together as it might get in each other’s way. I had YouTube detect me having ad block until I paused Privacy Badger for YT.
ublock origin has a cookie notice and nag filter that removes those.
go into the settings and turn on the annoyance filters, they are awesome.
Also FWIW you should care about cookies. That said, I use that filter in UBO but I’m wondering if using it is the same as hitting “reject all” or “accept all”? Does it even matter if you’re using Firefox and thus isolating cookies regardless?
AFAIK as long as you don’t click ‘accept’, you are good. I believe thats why they make these notices so obnoxious.
My understanding is that most people use an extension to dismiss the cookie dialog if they’re also deleting third party cookies, either with an extension/or a browser feature
Though there is also consent-o-matic which is supposed to automatically decline all the cookies you can. Folks in this thread mentioned it, so now I’m giving that a try :)
NewPipe and FreeTube if you want YT subscriptions without ads
Addy.io or simplelogin for email account signups
Invidious works cross device in the browser though. Handles subscriptions just fine.
On Iphone its the only proper option.
I do run my own service, ymmv using a public one.
And SmartTube for Android TV
Tubular is also good. It’s NewPipe with dislikes + SponsorBlock
Firefox Relay is another free email alias generator.
Proton pass is another
Proton acquired Simplelogin (or partnered?) so it’s one and the same. There’s a chance you may be able to get more aliases by using both the simplelogin and the proton accounts though…
A paid proton account can have infinite aliases
The limit for Proton itself is so generous I haven’t needed to. I have an alias for almost every single online account I have, and it’s all built in to the password manager. Very handy.
I have capped the whole 3 services :|
How many aliases do you have? I have a couple hundred IIRC
With the free services? I may have to look back into it I thought I capped them at around 20 each. I mean active though.
I have a my personal mail server send stuff to my aliases and they relay it to proton
I’ll be honest I am very glad that works for you, but I don’t like touching email servers with a 10 foot pole haha. Too much trouble for me.
note that I don’t care about cookies and Privacy badger is unnecessary when you have uBO. Also get Bypass Paywalls Clean though.
I’m not saying my setup is any better, but it currently looks like this:
- Firefox
- UBO
- SponsorBlock
- Return YouTube Dislikes
- DeArrow
- Archive.ph
I’m open to suggestions if anybody knows any better alternatives. I’ve had mixed luck with services that filter out YouTube’s crap.
I might start using Firefox once it has proper multi-account/profile features like Chrome.
I recently tried it but it’s such a hassle to set up and switch between them.
You may want to try Zen Browser - a Firefox fork that includes a chrome-like multi-profile UI.
I was able to get my profiles set up like chrome eventually. I’ll have to remember what I did and post back
I did get multiple profiles, but it was still missing features that make it more accessible to work with like it does in Chrome.
It’s almost there, it just lacks a bunch of definite features that would streamline it and integrate it better into the UI.
Right. It was too much work to figure out
It’s a little unintuitive, but it’s there. I setup different browser instances to launch different profiles.
I’ve been using Ghostery for years now and I don’t know whether or not it’s still relevant.
It’s not, use uBlock Origin.
I’ve seen people mention it was bought by an ad company or something
