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.
So, firefox achieving feature parity with lynx? :^)
CLI is king ;-)
Careful, mode 2 means reject all or fall back to accept all if there is no Reject All button. So use that only if cookies are disabled or otherwise controlled, for example by an AddOn like Cookie AutoDelete. If not, rather use mode 1 that hits only a Reject All button if available but ignores others.
See https://community.mozilla.org/de/campaigns/firefox-cookie-banner-handling/ and https://github.com/mozilla/cookie-banner-rules-list
or use Consent-O-Matic to automatically reject all the non-essential cookies https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/
Ah that’s a much better choice than just blanket blocking all cookies
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
Nice didn’t know! Thank you!!
I prefer an “accept all” approach, refusing all of them will lead to a degraded experience
Except abusers like Facebook who go in their dedicated isolated container
According to Mozilla setting both to the value 1 is the better idea. The fallback then won’t be “Accept all”.
Oh boy this is great for privacy but it’s also going to break a lot of academic shit that relies on cookies for authentication
I don’t think this blocks all cookies, but instead disables all non-essential cookies in those cookie consent dialogs
This isn’t anything new. Firefox lost the lead ages ago (thanks, Mozilla):
