The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
That's it.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Let everyone have their own content.

Our icon(masterpiece) was made by @clen15!
On ublock origin (full version, not lite), click on the settings icon:
Then go to "Filter Lists" and enable both of the "Cookie Notices" options:
DandelionSprout also has a fantastic collection of lists that i use regularly. https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt
Is there anything for all the "subscribe to newsletter" popups on news sites and online stores?
Yes, those should be included under "Annoyances"
Ublock is truly one of the 8 technological Wonders of the world.
What are the other 7?
Linux Kernel. Blender. And the other 5 are still undiscovered.
Wikipedia/mediawiki
vlc
Absolutely this.
2010s was a wild west of downloading multi pack codecs BS. Just let me play the video!
Every time I accidentally open another browser, I puke a little bit. I wonder how is it possible to live without uBlock Origin.
Bonus tip, you can install extensions on Firefox mobile and block those pesky ads too
Only on Android unfortuantely. On iOS, Firefox is just a skin for Safari with no plugin support (thanks Apple!).
I've been using Brave on iOS - it works fine for me as an alternative to Firefox.
On iOS
See, that's where you went wrong.
Edit : Orion has been suggested as an iOS browser in another comment, though I don't know if it's good as I've never tried it.
for me Orions addos dont really work
I haven’t tried any other add ons other than ublock, but I can confirm that it works on my iPhone 15 with recent iOS.
Just try looking at the same recipe page in safari and then again in Orion. Night and day.
Does it only block the pop-up or does it deny consent for anything but necessary cookies?
Because that's quite essential I think
If you don't click on yes. You haven't given your consent
In the US, it's the opposite. The way the law is written, you have to OPT out. So they're collecting the moment you land.
I've set up a bunch of these cookie banners for US businesses. You can choose if you follow the EU version, or the CCPA version.
If you don't click any of the options and simply block the pop-up, it commonly breaks the site. Doesn't matter what's ethically right, you have to be practical.
Man, this extension is vital for the internet. Do they take donations at all?
Unshakable
Does it still work? Last few times I’ve tried it it didn’t do much.
Not on Chrome, on Firefox it does wonders
On mobile you can use Consent-o-matic
You can use uBO on firefox on android.
You can use uBO on iOS now too. The Kagi search engine people have made a mobile browser (Orion) that supports Firefox and Chrome plugins!
My web browsing experience has drastically improved since I was finally able to get uBO back since my switch away from Android.
I use both😈
(And both on pc and android:)
I'd like to throw consent-o-matic in as someone else suggested under one of my comments a while back :)
Ublock has been slightly better in my experience, and this doesn't require another extension.
Thanks for sharing though!
https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/abp/ you could add this to uBlock filters
uBO is way better, especially if you also know how to make filters yourself.
Agreed. Between those, userscripts, and custom css, the web is very different on my computer, and everyone else's.
Zapper tool works?
Hiding elements with zapper is only temporary, so you should use the normal element picker instead.
But with uBO you can also do much more than just element hiding:
