For those that don’t know, Firefox has in-built support for automatically rejecting cookies and blocking the cookie banners from popping up.

To enable this feature, go to about:config, and perform the following:

  • change cookiebanners.service.mode from 0 to 2

To have this functionality in Private browsing mode, you should also:

  • change cookiebanners.service.mode.privateBrowsing from 0 to 2.

All Power to the People!

edit: (credit for this information goes to this lemming). Apparently, mode 2 means reject all or fall back to accept all if there is no Reject All button. Mode 1 only hits a Reject All button if available but ignores others.

or use Consent-O-Matic to automatically reject all the non-essential cookies https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/

Ah that’s a much better choice than just blanket blocking all cookies

It’s good but nowhere near as good as I-Dont-Like-Cookies was. Shame that guy sold out. Consent-O-Matic still seems to miss a lot of consent screens.

There is a community version called “I still don’t care about cookies” https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Dont-Care-About-Cookies
