    2025 starter kit. Although manifest v3 will fuck things up in a June, at least for Chromium users (minus Brave).

    Name Description Chrome Firefox
    FastForward Skips wait screens Extension Add-on
    Consent-o-matic Auto-manages cookie popups Extension Add-on
    uBlock Origin Advanced manifest v2 adblocker Extension Add-on

    Shinigami Eyes is also not a bad shout, but I took a look at the github issue tracker and I can’t make out from some of the posts there if it’s still good or if it’s compromised.

    EDIT: Regarding paywalls, I used to use https://github.com/Angeloyo/PaywallHub but it has closed down due to (big surprise) legal threats. I guess https://www.removepaywall.com/ is the better alternative.

        That’s good to know. Consent-o-matic is configurable though, it doesn’t just ignore the popup, it automates the setting of cookies based on your preference, which could be “allow everything”. So it comes down to how you want to handle those popups.

        I’ve just been using OptMeOwt for the GPC flag feature, but it looks like Privacy Badger (PB) does that and a lot more, nice. I use Vivaldi that already blocks trackers and have a primitive adblocker, so I don’t know how much PB will help, but I’ll give it a shot.

      Cool table, but it’s sad that any of it is needed for normal browsing.

        Yeah, it’s not perfect, but it does handle over 75% of the ones I meet. I’ve noticed recently that it struggles with certain German websites for some reason. Most sites copy and paste the same type of cookie consent form, so maybe it just doesn’t know how to handle that specific type?
        Anyway, one need to report the sites where it doesn’t work in order for the fellas that run it (Some Danish university students made it originally, not sure if they’re still in charge), to work on bypassing those new forms.
