    It's bought by Avast. I immediately uninstalled it when I learned about the news. No way that they don't want get a return on investment by e.g. selling your data.

    Consent-o-matic is better (actually sets the minimum amount of cookies) and is developed by university employees, whom I trust more.

    uBlock Origin has filters to block cookie pop-ups. I consider the extension a must anyway, no need to download another one like IDCAC or Consent-o-matic

    I don't care about cookies addon was purchased from a spyware/malware company. Use the fork https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/istilldontcareaboutcookies/

    I also use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/ and whitelist domains as needed

      `Cookie extensions

      ❗️Sanitizing in-session is a false sense of privacy. They do nothing for IP tracking. Even Tor Browser does not sanitize in-session e.g. when you request a new circuit. A new ID requires both full sanitizing and a new IP. The same applies to Firefox
      ❗️Cookie extensions can lack APIs or implementation of them to properly sanitize
          e.g. at the time of writing: Cookie Auto Delete`
