minus-squareviking@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up56arrow-down1·11 months agoThe only things I need are uBlock origin and consent-o-matic. And then there is “TWP - translate web pages” as long as the native translation function doesn’t cover any Asian languages. Been using all three since forever, with custom collections on Fennec (Firefox-fork) you could already install add-ons for a long time.
minus-squareStorageB@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up35arrow-down2·11 months agoI don’t think you even need consent-o-matic. uBlock Origin can block the cookie popups (it’s just not enabled by default)
minus-squareExcrubulent@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up31arrow-down1·11 months agoWat, I just looked this up, you go to settings > filter lists > annoyances. You can block popup nags as well! This is game changing.

minus-squareviking@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·11 months agoMore often than not the annoyance filter hides the popup/consent page in its entirety, without bypassing it, and the website is unusable.
minus-squareCommanderCloonlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoI replaced uBlock with AdNauseam, because fuck advertisers. (It’s an uBlock fork so uBlock features are also present)
