Yes!
Absolutely.
Click login/cart, popup "do you want to enable login/cart for $this_site?" yes/no
But only when you explicitly make the request to use a cart or press the login button. Silently block everything else.
There's about 5 sites I would ever use with cookies. And I use chrome for them. I use firefox with all that crap disabled for everything else.
Give it a try!
- thayne 6y ago> Click login/cart, popup "do you want to enable login/cart for $this_site?" yes/no I don't see how you could implement that without sites abusing any click event to try and get you to enable cookies. > There's about 5 sites I would ever use with cookies Good for you. Most people need more than that.
- harry8 6y agoWhat as many as 10? 15? Or even 50! Now count your cookies. Orders of magnitude different. Thanks Google! Nobody agreed to that. Literally nobody.
- pwdisswordfish2 6y agoWhen you cut to the chase like this it often triggers a canned defensive response such as, 1. "You agreed to it by using the software/website" 2. the design decision was made in the interests of improving "user experience" (meanwhile the users are a cultivated "product", not customers), or 3. the software/website has been "chosen" by large numbers of users which shows they all approve of the design (meanwhile, those users have no other meaningful choice)
- eythian 6y agoI used to use konqueror years and years ago set to ask me about cookies from all sites. It got so tedious. These days I'm much happier with firefox/privacy badger selectively blocking stuff behind the scenes for me. Though I do wish it weren't necessary.
