I use “I don’t care about cookies” but it’s detected and blocked by cnn. Does ghostery work?
Basically we are going to need more and more addon’s and functionality to mitigate this shit. Ignore all cookies, delete all cookies. Basically code for many specific websites to make them usable again.
So I have UBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, “I don’t care about cookies” and Facebook container. Is ghostery meant as a replacement for all of them?
PS: Apparently yes. How good it is nobody knows!
I just ran into that the other day. I solved it by installing noscript, setting a permissive default (I don’t want to make my life harder) and blocking scripts on CNN. It works well.
I use the addon ‘consent o-matic’ it automatically rejects all the cookies and it almost always works. Great addon to add to your (Firefox) browser.
Omg thank you i always only find addons that auto accept cookies but non that auto reject… Finally i can rest
Ghostery does this too if you’ve already got that

I’ve tried it, it works for me on firefox running on windows.
Install it and try.

I’d have to check later, not on my PC right now.

Thanks! But ghostery works pretty well so far and replaces 3 previous addons.
Great!
