Use I STILL don’t care about cookies. That one is owned by Avast nowadays and accepts all cookies which is clearly not what people want.

I personally use the community version as well because I don’t trust avast but is there any evidence they are actually doing this?

IIRC that add-on was bought by Avast and the new add-on is ‘I still don’t care about cookies’

Holy fuck, that is so disgusting. I was gonna ask why that’s even legal but I’ve learned not to ask such stupid, logical questions. Thanks for the tip!

To my understanding, by using this you accept (all) the cookies… I would like a extension that tries to minimize cookie exposure!

In most cases, it 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 doesn’t delete cookies.

You’re sort of right. Cookie deletion should be available in browser settings right?

In some browsers, such as duck duck go, that’s indeed available and customizable per site. There is also Auto Cookie Delete extension on Firefox and Chrome that you can use.

Ghostery will automatically decline all tracking pop ups, block cookies, website trackers, etc.

I’ve been using it for a while and love it.

Or you can enable “Annoyances” filters in uBlock Origin for the same effect

I used to use Ghostery but removed it and now just use these two filters in uBlock. They’re not perfect but certainly better than not using them at all.
