I've been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.

@Atemu This is why, for me, Firefox is unreplaceable on Android. Just the fact that's not Chromium + also supports extensions is what makes it superior.
I wish that it'll come pre-installed in phones instead of Chrome, so more people can give it a try. But is Android and Google would never allow that.

Unrelated to the post: it's so cool that you're replying from mastodon

[-] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

The question is, did they get your comment? You didn't @ them. Does Mastodon know how to interpret and exchange replies from Lemmy if it doesn't use @ tagging?

[-] DannyBoy@mastodon.ie 26 points 1 year ago

@deweydecibel @Sekoia Yes, I got your reply without @ me. ActivityPub works in mysterious ways.
For example: I can create new posts on Lemmy/Kbin, but those posts can be only text. I still haven't figured out how to post images.

Looks like you either have to @ people to reply to them, or it populates it for you

Yes, and it even associates it as a reply directly to their post. If you're using Lemmy on the web, you can click the rainbow fediverse button to open the comment from the originating instance.

@Undearius @deweydecibel Nice! Now you have created an #Inception kind of post.
Piece of advice boys. When you make posts on Lemmy/Kbin put at the end of it some #hashtags related to the post's topic. So it can be indexable for Mastodon and Pixelfed users.
I as a Mastodon user can see posts from Pixelfed users due to their diligence of using hashtags.

This is something easy that can improve post discoverability and also you'll get more user interaction.

It would be interesting to see some automation there, like having default tags for a community. It would be kinda silly to post something c/firefox and have to tag #firefox too.

I just noticed a couple of days ago that you can block them in the uBlock Origin annoyances filter list too.

[-] Urist@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Found out about this literally three days ago and it has been such a blessing. I am a little unsure though with regards to what settings are applied from blocking the banners. I would assume it should enforce a minimal amount of cookies due to the lack of acceptance.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Unless they have US specific behavior. The US doesn't even require a notice, some devs just included it because they were too lazy to add geolocation.

Wait till you learn what you can do with the element selector/custom filters. I've made so many trash web pages so much nicer to read just by learning to use that tool. Fandom.com is actually tolerable now.

Been using "I still don't care about cookies", but native support would be legendary

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.de 34 points 1 year ago

Wait, I thought that just accepted everything? Because if you don't care about cookies, you'd be fine with anything, no? But "rejecting" cookie banners to me implies rejecting cookies which is different if I'm not mistaken.

[-] cheerjoy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

That extension is just hiding the banner, same as if you blocked it with ublock cosmetic filtering

[-] Sleepkever@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not 100% true according to the description on that page. It just hides the banner if possible but it will automatically accept some or even all cookies and tracking if it is required for the site to function. And their choice if they accept some or all depends on "whichever is easier to do".

And functionality of the website could be social media or video embedding which might be "required for the site to function" in the eyes of the extension maintainers. But which will send data to Facebook, Google, and the likes. That could be okay depending on what your stance but a good thing to be aware of.

[-] tcit@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

It accepts all or minimal depending on the website.

It's so unfortunate that Firefox on Android, for some reason, never worked well with password managers (as I understand it, it doesn't support the APIs that Android has for them). Sometimes it'll trigger the manager, more often, it won't. Infuriating and a deal breaker for me.

I'll give it another go, maybe this has been improved recently.

Edit gave it another crack, gosh, it actually works now!

[-] palitu@lemmy.perthchat.org 41 points 1 year ago

i rarely have any issues with bitwarden. give it another crack!

I had to use the accessibility features of bitwarden to get it to run, but they improved and on many web pages you can now auto fill passwords from the keyboard integration

[-] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago

I use Firefox both on mobile and on desktop with Bitwarden for myself and LastPass for work, both work with very little problems

[-] wiz@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I use bitwarden and it works quite well there, the most annoying part are websites that split login and password prompts so that you have to use fill-in feature twice

[-] tj111@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I use the firefox password manager personally. Not sure if that makes me an idiot or not but it works well and I trust mozilla.

It's here since April. The popup might be new but not the option.

Firefox is still the best browser. :)

[-] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

It's existed for a while, but I think that pop-up is new. Or I just forgot about it

[-] oranki@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Did a bit of research and found out the feature is available on Fennec F-Droid too via about:config.

Here's how to enable: https://community.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/firefox-cookie-banner-handling/

Firefox bringing an actual useful feature? Not removing one? Not bringing in more telemetry and reporting? Not doing more restrictions? Not copying Chrome?

Am I dead?

[-] heimchen@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

I use firefox clear and it doesn't even haven cocky support.(longer than one session)

See you in a few weeks, stable channel. Nightly, here I come!

[-] dan@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

That’s a fantastic feature.

[-] tomartiv@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Just be careful, those kind of features can sometimes break sites.

Blaaah, time to switch!
