Since there are a handful (maybe dozens) of companies who implement this popup feature as a service (e.g. CookieYes), a browser plugin to automate the "no to all" could be handy. That is, the plugin would know the provider and navigate the labyrinth of settings to disable all of them.
- jmbwell 1y agoAnd then a handful of companies can offer a service to let advertisers punch through the plugins. And then another plugin could block that! Thing is you’re probably right. The modern web is made of middlemen inserting themselves into user experiences to divert and extract revenue from the primary stream between consumer and producer. There’s always room for another layer.
- jraph 1y agouBlock Origin's cookie banner lists do this.
- baggachipz 1y agoAh, yeah, I suppose just blocking the domains of those cookie services would take care of it.
- jraph 1y agoThat's not always enough, sometimes you need some code simulating the "deny all" clicks or tweaking CSS class lists on the body and html elements. Otherwise, you might end up with some unscrollable page because for instance there's a CSS rule that blocks scrolling when the modal is there and restores it when the modal closes and this handling is unfortunately done in JS.
- baggachipz 1y agoDoes uBO take care of this?
- jraph 1y agoThere are occasional breakages, but yes. edit: documentation: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#scriptlet-injection https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#... https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Resources-Library#trusted-click-elementjs- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Resources-Library#tru... It's actually given in example: > example.com##+js(trusted-click-element, button.reject-all)
- baggachipz 1y agoGreat, thanks for the information. I'm guessing uBO lite can't do this, but then again I doubt anything using manifest V3 could.
- anticensor 1y agouBO lite actually can do this.
- anticensor 1y agoThere's only two kinds of cookie banner lists for uBO: "reject all" or "I don't care about cookies", nothing in between.
- jraph 1y agoI'm curious: what else would you like to have, and what could uBlock Origin would do better than actually using the cookie modal in this case?
- anticensor 1y agohide the cookie modal and suppress the storage of cookies by origin-variable key combination
