I have been using Firefox with Ublock Origin as my main browser for a long while. Usually when I get a privacy prompt, I reject cookies, or maybe some sites that are more difficult take me a to a panel that wants me to switch off loads of individual trackers.
How does Ublock handle the cookies? Obviously some are required for site functionality, such as being logged in here, but if I accept cookies (or can’t reject them) then presumably they are still accepted? Or does it accept the essential ones and delete third-party trackers?
That’ll make it so you’re not bothered by banners anymore, so I’d say yes. I activate everything listed and then import others filters from filterlists.com. Here’s a link which will let you add the Easylist Cookie Lists: https://filterlists.com/lists/easylist-cookie-list
I’d recommended adding EFF’s Cookie Block List, which you can find here: https://filterlists.com/lists/eff-cookie-blocklist
I’m going to take this one away, create a new FF profile and configure. That way I can compare results with my original profile.
