 Posted: Sat Nov 18, 2023 3:44 pm Post subject: Firefox: 'Accept All' cookie banning beta feature... |
 |
|
Just discovered a firefox feature that seems to have been boiled for about a year. | Code: | about:config
cookiebanners.ui.desktop.enabled bool defaults to false |
Switching that value to true will show a cookie banning feature in Preferences.
Activating the feature will set | Code: | about:config
cookiebanners.service.mode.privateBrowsing defaulted to 0 to 1. |
Firefox will magically select 'Reject All' when available, fallbacking to 'Accept All' if missing.
Alternatively manual setting of | Code: | about:config
cookiebanners.service.mode.privateBrowsing to 2 |
should allow to avoid the fallback mechanism described above. (Untested)
The feature is expected in Preferences any soon.
Side note: Unsure if the feature activation makes sense when browsing out of EU.
Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.

Thx for bringing this to my attention, I wonder if this works reliably.
And yes even in the EU that would be useful, because many websites have very nasty cookie selection menus that make it impossible to not accept everything.
If you use "annoyance blocklists" that get rid of the cookie selection menus, the sites break on purpose. |
