How do I make Lemmy not show me animated thumbnails?
I don't need my home page to be a GeoCities-esque pile of flashing puke.

There is no such thing as an unintrusive advertisement.
I'd be happy with a static image, hosted by the website which when clicked takes you to the advertiser's website

Captcha buster is taking care of the captchas now at least. A robot that proves I'm not a robot. Is this the singularity yet?
No, but it's definitely a boring dystopia.

In europe we have a "reject all" button for cookies and it's fantastic
Except on news websites that only give you the choice between "subscribe for X€" and "read for free (accept all)". So annoying. Still no idea why that's legal.

See I want to be able to set that once, in my browser, and then have all of these things fuck off.
We also have this glorious extension which just fucks them all off:

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

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.
thanks, changed it.

IIRC that add-on was bought by Avast and the new add-on is 'I still don't care about cookies'
thanks, changed it.
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!

Ghostery will automatically decline all tracking pop ups, block cookies, website trackers, etc.
I’ve been using it for a while and love it.

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.
No, we don't. I had to do this manually, more than once.

It's the cookie toggles pop up that annoys tf out of me. There's no reason for every site to need to ask you over and over and over about it. The browser should be taking care of that.

All that just to find that the page doesn’t have the info you needed anyway.
That's okay, we can just use the cached version, right? Right???
But made its best to make you stay on the page over the 12 second watermark or some SEO bullshit.
I hate when I look up som simple info for a game and you get to a page that just has all this generated text telling you how you want to know that simple info and how they are going to tell you that simple info on that site and how this game makes you do that simple thing and some background about what that game is
Aargh triggering shit yeah it's horrendous what funneling everyone on the internet through a single (or so) "research portal"
