A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Honestly, I thought it will be shorter. It makes me appreciate the authors of all these add-ons even more. If it weren't for their efforts, web browsing would be a much less enjoyable experience.
In case you didn't know, the "I don't care about cookies" extension was recently sold to Avast. I don't know if anyone has seen them make any sketchy changes yet, but personally I didn't want to trust them and uninstalled it
So what would you recommend to replace it?
You could try Consent-O-Matic. That’s what I use. It also doesn’t simply agree to everything like the other one but chooses the most privacy-friendly option instead.
Currently I just deal with the banners (as annoying as they are) and shed a tear at the state of the modern internet.
Ublock Origin has annoyance filters that you can enable.
Does this work for you? I have that filter enabled but it doesn't really catch everything.
