I’ve been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.
Firefox bringing an actual useful feature? Not removing one? Not bringing in more telemetry and reporting? Not doing more restrictions? Not copying Chrome?
Am I dead?
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.
Edit gave it another crack, gosh, it actually works now!
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.
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.
Been using “I still don’t care about cookies”, but native support would be legendary
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.
“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).”
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.
Just be careful, those kind of features can sometimes break sites.
I use firefox clear and it doesn’t even haven cocky support.(longer than one session)
