by Firefox user 15109409, 7 years agoThis addon automatically accepts cookies:
"Starting with version 3.0.2, this extension notifies websites about which cookies the visitor allows them to install. By knowing this, websites can skip displaying the cookie warning and act according to the given permission. As a result, you will be bothered by cookie warnings even less. "
Privacy oriented users, please bear in mind the following:
The Verge shows a tracking-consent message when visiting the site from the EU. Most people will click "I Accept" to make it go away, but if you don't and hide the message via CSS, you won't be tracked and the site is way faster: 32 vs 5 secs load time 61 vs 2 JS files 2 vs 1 MB

Ublock Origin cookies block removes the CSS and does not accept the cookies, you can also use the element picker.
[update: looks like I have no clue what I'm talking about, so I recommend you ignore my comment above]

Developer response
posted 7 years agoOk, one by one...
1. This addon automatically accepts cookies WHEN it is necessary for the website to function properly. Mostly it just hides cookie warnings.
2. Quoted message has nothing to do with automatically accepting cookies. It is about notifying websites what you allow them to do so they may skip displaying a cookie warning alltogether if they want to improve user experience.
3. Cookie warning on theverge.com is not auto-accepted, it's just hidden with this extension, so I don't know why you are writing about it.
Regards,
Daniel
SMALL UPDATE: there may be some important features that don't work properly on theverge.com without auto-accepting cookie policy, just like on some of their partners websites. In that case I'd need to auto-accept it. For now, the cookie warning will just remain hidden.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Dominik Adrian Grzywak, 14 days agoThere are issues with some websites. The cookie monit is visually removed, but there's still a layer that blocks me from scrolling and clicking on the whole website.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Boris, 17 days agoUne application QOL de qualité qui malheureusement aujourd’hui manque de suivie et n'est plus aussi efficace que jadis.
Tourné vous vers "I still don't care about cookies" - Rated 1 out of 5by Cangrejo, 2 months agoDont work on nature. For blocking cookie notices, is better ublock origin with their cookie notice list.

- Rated 1 out of 5by St, 3 months agoKeeps getting worse since croatian developer Daniel Kladnik sold the popular "I don't care about cookies" browser extension to Avast (now part of Gen Digital, former Symantec). Many users became wary of their data being handled by a large antivirus/security company, leading to distrust. This prompted the development of alternative, community-driven versions (forks) like "I Still Don't Care About Cookies," available on GitHub and browser stores, to ensure transparency and user control. Users concerned about the acquisition often turn to the open-source forks for a more community-backed solution.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Olivier E., 5 months agoUsed to be a very useful extension coupled with another extension that delete the cookies as soon as I leave a website. However in the past few month I noticed a lot of broken website on Firefox until I realized the issue was this extension...I had to remove it...I'm annoyed to see the banners back but at least I can browse properly.

- Rated 1 out of 5by ab-tools, 6 months agoThis often doesn't work and reporting cookies banners leads to page with database error. Use add-on "I still don't care about cookies" by Guus instead!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Lilith D. Bracken, 6 months agoThis extension makes browsing so much smoother by automatically getting rid of those annoying cookie pop-ups. Almost every site is covered, so you can focus on the content instead of constantly clicking “accept” or “reject.” It works quietly in the background, doesn’t slow anything down, and makes visiting websites much less frustrating. Perfect for anyone who just wants a cleaner, faster browsing experience.

- Rated 2 out of 5by BrianG, 8 months agoUsed to work fairly well but now I mainly notice it because it breaks various websites such as Tesco Bank, making the site completely unusable.
I won't be using it anymore. - Rated 3 out of 5by Quyu, 9 months agoраньше работало отлично, но сейчас половина сайтов не работает с этим расширением
