I’ve been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.

    @Atemu This is why, for me, Firefox is unreplaceable on Android. Just the fact that’s not Chromium + also supports extensions is what makes it superior.
    I wish that it’ll come pre-installed in phones instead of Chrome, so more people can give it a try. But is Android and Google would never allow that.

      Found out about this literally three days ago and it has been such a blessing. I am a little unsure though with regards to what settings are applied from blocking the banners. I would assume it should enforce a minimal amount of cookies due to the lack of acceptance.

        Unless they have US specific behavior. The US doesn’t even require a notice, some devs just included it because they were too lazy to add geolocation.

          Or because geolocation can be flaky. I’d assume management would rather comply with the GDPR requirements than risk ever getting into a lawsuit because they relied on IP geolocation.

      Wait till you learn what you can do with the element selector/custom filters. I’ve made so many trash web pages so much nicer to read just by learning to use that tool. Fandom.com is actually tolerable now.

        uMatrix Filters in combination with uBlock Origin has made my webexperience so much better, that I’m always appaled when I visit websites from other peoples machines.

      I think this one is better because blocking content can lead to site breakage. The firefox one seems to automatically click “reject all” or “accept minimal” on the banners (which are standardized iirc), so less potential for breakage.

        I’ve been using consentomatic on Firefox desktop for a couple of years now and it mostly works great. It does what you described above, so I assume you’re right and this one does the same.

      Wait, I thought that just accepted everything? Because if you don’t care about cookies, you’d be fine with anything, no? But “rejecting” cookie banners to me implies rejecting cookies which is different if I’m not mistaken.

        That extension is just hiding the banner, same as if you blocked it with ublock cosmetic filtering

          Not 100% true according to the description on that page. It just hides the banner if possible but it will automatically accept some or even all cookies and tracking if it is required for the site to function. And their choice if they accept some or all depends on “whichever is easier to do”.

          And functionality of the website could be social media or video embedding which might be “required for the site to function” in the eyes of the extension maintainers. But which will send data to Facebook, Google, and the likes. That could be okay depending on what your stance but a good thing to be aware of.

        “In most cases, the add-on just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it’s needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what’s easier to do).”

          It’s not just the name, from the description I’d also assume that it accepts cookies or at least most of them.

    It’s so unfortunate that Firefox on Android, for some reason, never worked well with password managers (as I understand it, it doesn’t support the APIs that Android has for them). Sometimes it’ll trigger the manager, more often, it won’t. Infuriating and a deal breaker for me.

    I’ll give it another go, maybe this has been improved recently.

      I had to use the accessibility features of bitwarden to get it to run, but they improved and on many web pages you can now auto fill passwords from the keyboard integration

      I use bitwarden and it works quite well there, the most annoying part are websites that split login and password prompts so that you have to use fill-in feature twice

      I use the firefox password manager personally. Not sure if that makes me an idiot or not but it works well and I trust mozilla.

        It doesn’t make you an idiot. It is a free service that offers every service a premium password manager does. The real idiots are the people paying mothly for the same thing…

      Works great here with KeePass2Android on Android 12. If for some reason automatic filling doesn’t work switching to the KP2A Keyboard and filling the username and password takes about 5 seconds.

      How do you mean?

      I click into a password field, I get a “Fill with KeepassDX”-button above the keyboard, I press that, unlock the database, I’m done and it autofills. You just need to select the Keepass-app of your choice as the password-autofill app in the Android settings, but that’s independent of your browser choice anyways.

      Works fine with 1Password also, although the experience can somewhat clunky (I use Mull, not Firefox). Planning to migrate to KeePassDX soon, so I’m glad to hear that it should still work.

    It’s existed for a while, but I think that pop-up is new. Or I just forgot about it
