I’d actually recommend consent-o-matic instead of IDCAC. It actually selects the minimum concent for you instead of just hiding it.
EDIT: Ignore my blind confidence. CAD is (mostly) broken in recent FF versions. (See ivn’s reply to this post).
Consent-o-Matic with Cookie Auto Delete and Firefox’s Multi-Account Container tabs covers it all nicely for me.
Cookie banners get handled, cookies I don’t explicitly want to keep automatically disappear when I leave the site/close the tab, and those I do want to keep can be given their own containers to keep them separated.
I use uBlock Origin’s picker mode instead. It lets you select which element you want block. It works on other annoying notices, popus and annoying stuff not just cookie notices
clicking the cookie notice away with the picker mode doesn’t mean the cookies don’t apply.
It should according to eu law and siteadmins that still do it should be tarred and feathered
I use that one on iOS. In Firefox I use the native functionality (the
cookiebanners.service.modeflag). See https://community.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/firefox-cookie-banner-handling/. I also setcookiebanners.ui.desktop.enabledtotrueto make this setting appear in the settings menu.I didn’t know it was native too!
DONT use the “I Don’t Care About Cookies” plugin. It was sold to Avast. The same company that stole users information and sold it ON A PRIVACY PRODUCT illegally for years causing them to get sued for 16 million. (slap on the wrist tbh)

Why would someone use that instead of uBlock origin cookie filter?
Its really best to keep browser extensions as few as possible for fingerprinting resistance
To OP/readers you’re OK with extensions this would be a better pick imo (read installation instructions)
Why would someone use that instead of uBlock origin cookie filter?
Not using the addon, but I simply didn’t know uBlock can do that.
Oh yeah, I gotta get rid of Avast, it keeps flagging things that straight up aren’t viruses, what’s a good alternative?
iirc Windows Defender does a decent job. However, if you are a JavaScript developer, try to add node_modules to the exceptions, unless you don’t care much about the performance hit.
I personally have stopped running antivirus on Windows a couple years ago. Since I run most, if not all, untrusted software in VMs, I didn’t see the point of wasting performance. On the host, I only run Firefox and Steam/Epic games.
I then moved to Linux and I have 2 GPUs; one for the host and one for VMs with games. But that’s probably a different story.
ry to add node_modules to the exceptions, unless you don’t care much about the performance hit.
Does windows defender go crazy constantly scanning the files or something? I have a TON of machines running automated tasks using node and any drop in CPU usage would be much appreciated.
No, use consent-o-matic, which is even configurable and thus better in every way.
You fools. You absolute buffoons. Clearly you should be using the open source, free (beer) web browser I cooked up in my basement
no thanks i’m not a fan of webkit

Privacy badger is not longer needed IIRC, its role is taken care by uBlock.
UBO can block YT ads, no need to use a seperate ad blocker for YT
Sponsorblock to auto skip sponsor segments, or even non music parts of music on YouTube. Or interaction reminders, or end credits, etc can make it a little bit how you want it
I use uBlock Origin on Firefox and I’ve never even seen the semblance of an ad.
Are you using Chrome, and have they implemented V3, yet?
Currently V3 is in Canary channel or maybe in Beta but surely not (yet) in the stable version.
IDCAC should not be on this list since it was compromised, ABP-style. consent-o-matic is probably better but the most direct replacement is “I Still Don’t Care About Cookies”.
Doesn’t the “EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices” filter in uBlock’s settings do the same thing as IDCAC / consent-o-matic?
iI think consentomatic scripts the opt-out interaction. idcac probably just hides the popup.
Sigh
Download jerboa
Phone settings > Private DNS > set DNS provider host name to dns.adguard-dns.com.
Problem solved.
Very easy for a majority of people.
As an alternative, for those who want to dive in or have more control: Self host PiHole or AdGuard Home DNS. Either use WireGuard VPN and set the DNS manually, or setup a DoT/DoH service. Either way works.
Rethink android app is also really good and extremely configurable.
Why don’t you download something like Voyager or Thunder from f-droid?
I’ve really been enjoying Eternity (also available on f-droid)
Yhea, I’ve been using Eternity for almost all my Lemmy browsing. Only client for me!
Invidious hasn’t been working for most of this year, so this doesn’t seem like a 2024 guide.
Try out boost (for Lemmy), and if you like it there’s a small one time payment option to support the Dev and remove ads
Oh for sure. Sync offers that as well, I just haven’t taken it up yet.
Try !summit@lemmy.world It’s dev is more active than Sync and Boost. And don’t have any ads.
Thanks, I’ll give it a try. It’s been months since the last boost update and in 2024 it’s hard to find up to date recommendations.
ublock origin has a cookie notice and nag filter that removes those.
go into the settings and turn on the annoyance filters, they are awesome.
Also FWIW you should care about cookies. That said, I use that filter in UBO but I’m wondering if using it is the same as hitting “reject all” or “accept all”? Does it even matter if you’re using Firefox and thus isolating cookies regardless?
My understanding is that most people use an extension to dismiss the cookie dialog if they’re also deleting third party cookies, either with an extension/or a browser feature
Though there is also consent-o-matic which is supposed to automatically decline all the cookies you can. Folks in this thread mentioned it, so now I’m giving that a try :)
AFAIK as long as you don’t click ‘accept’, you are good. I believe thats why they make these notices so obnoxious.

What’s the upside down Z-Library icon in the lower left for YT?
Invidous
Currently, it is recovering from attacks from Google. Only self-hosting works reliably at the moment…
Idk it’s not NewPipe or Grayjay

Go into uBO settings and then filters and enable all the non-language filters. You won’t need privacy badger or that cookie addon anymore.
I’m not saying my setup is any better, but it currently looks like this:
- Firefox
- UBO
- SponsorBlock
- Return YouTube Dislikes
- DeArrow
- Archive.ph
I’m open to suggestions if anybody knows any better alternatives. I’ve had mixed luck with services that filter out YouTube’s crap.
Another recommendation for YT:
It is Community-Based. Ppl (like you) mark timecodes from sponsor ads and if toggled on those will be skipped. You can whitelist channels as well if you want to.
150% better YT-experience!
If I’m going to see an ad, I do prefer sponsor ads over the injected YT ads. At least I can hope the content creators are getting paid directly for the ad.
Be careful with using Privacy Badger and uBO together as it might get in each other’s way. I had YouTube detect me having ad block until I paused Privacy Badger for YT.
Lemmy could be better…
Care to provide more information?
it’s a reddit competitor that lacks features of reddit, including: multireddits, hiding individual posts, card view that doesn’t autoplay video, and more but I’m lazy.
I expect some of those can be found by using a different mobile app
not using an app. I refused to install reddit s app, I won’t install lemmys.
Lemmy apps are third party
Don’t care. I’m not installing another app. It’s a website, it should work in a browser.

What kinds of problems have you ran into using Lemmy in a browser on the phone? I use Firefox and set it to “desktop mode” and haven’t had any issues.
Jerboa is technically First party. Doesn’t brand itself as the Lemmy app though.
I’m sure there’s a hacky workaround for every complaint I might have, I’ve done a lot of those over the years and I don’t see that stopping any time soon. I’m just tired of having to fix things before I can use/enjoy them. Effort is a limited resource. It’s current year, shit should just work.
I think you either lack information or are just misinformed.
Those are projects that cooperate with each other, not “hacky” solutions.
They offer services free of charge while respecting at every possible level your rights to privacy, I believe your “limited resource” will understand.
I mean it’s also a small community built project that doesn’t have the money, or resources that reddit has, and hasn’t been around as long
Better clients can help, but it takes time for a platform to mature, especially an open source one built with community funding 🤷♂️
If you wish it was going faster, you might think about contributing/donating if you’re able :)
There’s the features/app part already mentioned, but I also feel like there’s few “discoverability”. I’m glad Lemmy doesn’t has a addicting algoritm, but it’s also kind of hard to find new/diverse content that I like, and there’s also some issues in the community, but there’s unfortunately nothing to do about it.
!newcommunities@lemmy.world is a start, but not as advanced as Reddit yet.
Surely it’s a place to start.
I don’t like the federation part of it
I wish every instance was separate
Would it work if you only browsed local posts, and logged in to each instance separately?
Still susceptible to mass misinformation campaigns
Isn’t everything susceptible to such “attacks”?
If you spread the internet across millions of websites with 10k users or less then the campaigns become ineffective and inefficient
Its worth knowing there are some separate instances, like beehaw, though they have a very specific experience they’re going for and I think plan to refederate when they have the moderation resources.
Could be worth looking for an instance that fits if that’s what you really want
