@melroy we've been having various ideas of how users could teach the extension to handle new/unknown pop-ups through instruction. Is it something like that you have in mind?  @clemens Oh, I didn't know that's by your group. 🙂 I've had it on my to-do list to swap an (older) add-on I've been using for Consent-o-matic and see how well it works. Did that just now!  @clemens@social.multiverset.net Been using this extension for a while now, it's really handy! It works nicely on Vivaldi too!  @clemens @fluidlogic Does that include for the BS “legitimate interest” options? Sometimes I find that selecting Reject All doesn’t necessarily reject those. :/   @clemens How is this different from the "I Still Don't Care About Cookies" addon? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/istilldontcareaboutcookies/  @scottytrees @clemens "I Still Don't Care About Cookies" accepts cookies, Consent-O-Matic denies them unless you configure it otherwise.  @clemens Personally i use "I still don't care about cookies", but getting rid of #gdpr #CookieBanners is important. If anyone wants to get distracted with a side task: IMO, 10 years ago, when you searched for extensions to add, Firefox did a pretty good job of showing you useful extensions Now, not so much so a better place to look for extensions ? a "curated" list ?  @clemens I've been using it for years, hope it won't just vanish one day cause it's basically essential if you live in the EU and don't wanna have to choose between spending 40 minutes unchecking boxes or clicking "allow all" out of exasperation  @clemens Doing my best. I wrote an article about it in Czech which has thousands of views: https://blog.eischmann.cz/2023/04/17/consent-o-matic-kladivo-na-souhlasy-s-cookies/  @craftyguy @clemens it does, I use it.  @clemens @clemens  @clemens #ConsentOMatic is a great extension, and I mention it here at the flimsiest excuse. Thanks for writing and maintaining it! @clemens Thank you for that extension! I use it every day. The only problem is that I can’t remember its name whenever I‘m setting up a new PC. 🙃    Been using a bookmarklet and a Tampermonkey script that removes the "sticky" markup from the page. Never have to consent to anything.   @clemens @clemens Sounds great. Thank you. In addition to automating consent requests, does it reject/object to attempts to use cookies or similar on the basis of legitimate interest?  Not complaining, just curious: what technological reasons make it hard to make add-ons like yours difficult to run on Android?  @clemens Amazing addon, have been using it for a long time and it's getting better and better ^__^ Thanks so much! 💖  |

@clemens It would be nice if, just like uBlock origin, you can select the pop-up you want to get rid off.. So it's more proactively helping me to block those annoying pop-ups.
Currently, I only can submit that there is an issue with the current site..
ALSO... You can disable cookies in the browser, the EU law needs to be updated to not enforce these stupid pop-ups! I really got sick of EU parliament that are nontechnical people, creating this mess in the first place. #cookies
