- klntsky 5y agoHow is that different/better than uBlock with annoyances filters turned on?
- joosters 5y agoAuto-deleting cookies means that you don’t need a filter list to block bad sites, every site will be wiped. There’s no chance that a missed site will sneak through. The downside is that you will need to whitelist every site that you want to remember your login/settings for when revisiting them.
- imiric 5y agoYou can achieve that by just using incognito mode. Though the extension would surely be more flexible. Still, I haven't used a browser extension in years, partly because of extensions like this that require access to all browsing data, even if they're open source like in this case (though the author of "I don't care about cookies" has a strange concept of distribution[1]). The inconvenience of wiping cookies and clicking through cookie consent forms is much more tolerable than allowing random extensions access to all my browsing data.

- contravariant 5y agoWell uBlock can't block all cookie warnings, some of them are more than just cosmetic. And uBlock doesn't remove the cookies if any get through.
