      The most effective solution is just to wipe all cookies every time you close your browser, or creating strict cookie whitelists. Actually managing cookies on webpages is for normies.

        and then every time you visit that one good news site, you have to go through their cookie banner each time. That or install a cookie-denying addon and hope that they don't sellout or sell your data.

        No? If you accept tracking while on the page, this has consequences on your current session

        Sadly that is not an option for firefox on android yet (while it is on desktop), the only choises you are left with are:

        • Use ff focus that completely resets the browser deleting every cookie in the process
        • Use normal ff and:
        1. Just accept that you have to deal with cookies and care to carefully select Reject on every banner
        2. Turn on delete data on "exit button press" (which sadly deletes everything again, with no possibility to whitelist some websites).

        That said, i believe Firefox should have (even on android) their "total cookie protection" thing which puts them in separate containers for each domain, so you are somewhat protected by cookie cross-tracking, but i would still prefer to delete most of them at close.

          Having seem the inside of some of these trackers, I can assure you that cross-domain "protection" is a furphy. Also, 848 partners is small fries. For shits and giggles you should turn on network logging on Firefox or Chrome and open any modern news website.

            Yea, 😂, I was very shocked on the amount of server contacted when I first time installed a pi-hole and opened a local news page while being on piHole webUI to test if it works.

      Consent-o-matic browser extension can handle a lot of cookie banners and automatically rejects all possible cookies.

        I used to rely on Consent-O-Matic a lot, but I'm somewhat uncomfortable by the fact that the extension has full access to all web page content. I mean I understand why, but I'm still uncomfortable with it. In the end I ended up uninstalling it because it broke some sites so that they wouldn't load at all, or got stuck into an infinite reload loop. On majority of cases it works alright though.

          Yea, every extension has full access to any website, if you not make use of a whitelist/blacklist.

            Some extensions, such as SponsorBlock for YouTube actually limit themselves so they can only operate when the browser is on youtube.com. This can be declared in the extension manifest. It's a separate permission to access data on all web sites vs. access data on a specific website.

      I just implemented a cookie consent bar on my company's website and the agencies/vendors who advertise for us were giving me so much shit for having reject available right away. But thankfully our Legal department said keep it there... Or else. "Hands tied..... Soooooorry!"
