In europe, the requirement for the annoying cookie compliance popups puts the final nail in the coffin for mobile browsing.

  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/i-dont-care-about-cookies/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/i-dont-care-a... works well for me.

      But you can use WIPR to get rid of ads, at least if you are on a 64-bit iOS device. http://giorgiocalderolla.com/index.html http://giorgiocalderolla.com/index.html

    Another alternative is the Prebake filter set [1] for uBlock Origin. [1] https://github.com/liamja/Prebake https://github.com/liamja/Prebake

      Thanks! One less add-on, one more list for me. :)

  yes, thats super annoying even on a PC. But for the rest of ads, I use Firefox mobile with toggle off JS, toggle off images and AdBlock/uBlock

    Allow me to introduce you to the I Don't Care About Cookies extension, which is available for Android Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/i-dont-care-about-cookies/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/i-dont-care-a...

      Thanks I will surely look at it, possibly to try it. Ive heard about cookie addons but dont know of any killer cookie addon. Meanwhole you could describe that extension in a few words, it can save a some clicks to 100 readers who are on a mobile right now.
      • Zak 10y ago
        The extension blocks cookie warning messages on a large number of websites and has the option to report that the user saw a cookie warning on the current website so that it can be blocked in the future.

  Yes I look forward to the day that idiotic law is overturned. It sort of almost did die (https://silktide.com/the-stupid-cookie-law-is-dead-at-last/ https://silktide.com/the-stupid-cookie-law-is-dead-at-last/), but the idiots in charge bought it back.

    The cookie law is not even relevant to 99% of sites. It doesn’t apply to session cookies, login cookies, technical cookies, etc. It only applies to tracking cookies, which most sites just don’t need.
    • return0 10y ago
      But most sites have ads
      • kuschku 10y ago
        Then that’s their issue. As you might have noticed, this site we’re on doesn’t need to have a cookie banner.

          Probably because it's financed by a billion dollar VC.

            I'd be curious to know what kind of hardware it takes to run HN. I'd suspect it's something like a one-hand-number-of-fingers AWS instances to actually serve it, although storage for all the comments is probably not insignificant at this point.

        Not like it is impossible to show ads without cookies.

  Do not worry- they will remove it, once mobile devices are no longer a thing and add new obstructions to augmented reality. Want to bet on the next big tech fear driven law ruining AR? How about two buttons you must press all the time, to show you are not driving during AR?
