I see some of these have already been mentioned, but they do deserve repeating;

µBlock Origin - blocks ads, and does it well.
Privacy Badger - blocks trackers, rewrites some tracking URLs, etc.
Multi-Account Containers - for those places where you want to keep tabs separate, giving each container its own cookies/session/etc.
Consent-O-Matic - automatically handles a lot of pages that shove annoying (and often technically GDPR-illegal due to lacking a quick "reject all" button) consent forms in your face.
Imagus - shows linked images on hover, including support for galleries and scrolling through all the images contained.

I use I don't care about cookies, I wonder how different it is from consent-o-matic

FYI- I was about to install "I don't care about cookies" when I noticed all the 1 star reviews. People saying its been purchased by Avast and is now data mining.

"I still don't care about cookies" is a community fork, does the same thing but isn't owned by a big company.

Go damn it, why corporations are always ruining good things.
Thank you for the information

Does consent-o-matic also rejects them or just accepts them?

[–] gherhartd@ludosphere.fr 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@Daefsdeda @ace you can choose what kind of cookies to accept and reject in the extension's settings.

Thanks that is amazing

There was an imagus fork which is actively maintained

Wow, Consent-O-Matic sounds super interesting. I'm definitely going to give this one a try
