Wondering how much of the Lemmy user base wouldn’t use an adblocker. If you do use one what other blocking do you use to circumvent data collection, YouTube and reddit front ends and things alike?

    One question though.

    Can’t you enable a filter list on uBlock Origin that removes all cookie consents?

    I think I have it on. It’s under “Annoyances”. Maybe it’s not as good since you have them both?

      I’m sure there is, but tbh I don’t know how, since I don’t need it.

      The way Consent-o-Matic works is that it accepts all, securely deletes all of it immediately before it can do anything. That way the site thinks you have all of it so it won’t ask again, but you actually get none of it.

      All this plus removing the consent- and other pop-ups for you. A few of the nastier pop-ups might be on your screen for a tenth of a second or less as Consent-o-Matic gets rid of it for you, but otherwise it’s like they were never there to begin with!

        Does it work better than “I don’t care about cookies”, if you’ve tried both?

        Yeah haha, there’s actually some nice block lists in the settings you can turn on.

        Also region specifics.
