Your mileage may vary but the first 3 websites I opened after installing it: - https://twitter.com/ https://twitter.com/ still shows cookie banner at the bottom - https://botland.com.pl https://botland.com.pl still shows cookie banner at the bottom - https://www.17track.net https://www.17track.net started showing "You are seeing this message because ad or script blocking software is interfering with this page." at the bottom of the page and asked me to solve a captcha

    I think you’re setting unreasonable expectations. Ad blocking has years of work behind it, and it still isn’t an exact science. Cookie banners are even harder, because they usually only come in the form of an element that blends in.

      That's kind of the point. The solution is one by one blacklisting? If so it needs to be better than making tickets. What about a system to hide the elements manually and that action feeds into a database?

        Have you ever looked at a blocklist? It’s literally thousands upon thousands of rules. And you blocking something shouldn’t add it to a list because what you block may not be what someone else wants blocked.

        A system could work where once more than x users have created the same manual blocking rule it goes to a list for manual review, and added to the main list if it's deemed useful. Some important privacy concerns with having that info reported back of course.

  It turns out the author links a Google Form for reporting problems in the app: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeox139lwja1Yl94dIZLSg8Ga8Wt4PAWSmRwtIe7NPb7WtHMA/viewform https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeox139lwja1Yl94dIZ...

  May be better to report it to Fanboy. This app seem to be almost entirely based on it. Doing so helps many more users than those of this app. Are improvements upstreamed or does it just piggyback? https://github.com/oblador/hush/tree/master/data https://github.com/oblador/hush/tree/master/data

    Good point. If you are already using an adblocker and are interested in this then you can just ad the fanboy list from easylist to your adblocker.

      Fanboy's Annoyance should already have what Fanboy's Cookiemonster List has. And, it's one of the default, but not activated, lists in uBlock Origin. Note that neither Safari nor Chrome are good choices if you want an effective adblocker these days. Firefox, use it.
