Not sure why, but unfortunately using that list in uBlock Origin (latest Firefox 77) does not produce the same result as using the "I don't care about cookies" extension;
Example website for which blocking the cookie popup does not work with uBlock Origin: https://tweakers.net/ https://tweakers.net/
- the_pwner224 6y agoI don't get any cookie popup on that website, without the IDCAC extension or filter list. I'm only using the opt-in 'Annoyances' filters in uBO.
- DavideNL 6y agoThat's odd; it appears they are using a different cookie 'popup' depending on the browser/OS...? I tested on Ubuntu and macOS with the latest Firefox (clean profile) and Chromium and i get the cookie popup/wall, even with ALL default uBO filter lists enabled, and also with the IDCAC list enabled in uBO.

- the_pwner224 6y agoThat's weird. I'm on Linux but enabled privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config, which sets the user agent to a standard Windows one (same as Tor Browser iirc) and also brings over a bunch of other Tor Browser features. Only downside is it reduces timer precision which makes some games lag, so occasionally I have to turn it off for a bit.
- DavideNL 6y agoI figured it out... they are showing a different cookie banner/cookie wall depending on the origin country of your public ip :)
