    Cookie dismisser extension, bitwarden for passwords and 2FA codes, uBlock origin for annoying popups that can’t be removed with DNS blocker directly.

    There are ways to reduce the pain somewhat, but they shouldn’t be necessary in first place.

    (Well, hoomans and passwords are an issue that can’t be solved easily, but the push for passkeys has been a nice nudge in a more secure and more usable alternative.)

      I like to tell people that using uBlock origin means the computer doesn’t have to render images and text in adds, so it is actually more environmentally friendly to have it installed than running the browser raw.

      It’s a thin argument, but I’m happy to see that some people have jumped on because of it.

      You don’t need an extra extension for the cookie notices. Just use uBlock Original for that:
      Under Filter lists enable “Cookie notices”

        It means you’re an uncultured swine it’s never seen an episode of Star Trek.

        Caught my eye too and it feels eerily reminiscent of the alt-right “coomer” and “consoom” kind of vocabulary, although I stress the word “feel”

          It might be a reference to the Ferengi, from Star Trek. They say “human” in a weird way to demonstrate their mild contempt.
