On ublock origin (full version, not lite), click on the settings icon:
Then go to “Filter Lists” and enable both of the “Cookie Notices” options:
Ublock is truly one of the 8 technological Wonders of the world.
Every time I accidentally open another browser, I puke a little bit. I wonder how is it possible to live without uBlock Origin.
What are the other 7?
Linux Kernel. Blender. And the other 5 are still undiscovered.
Wikipedia/mediawiki
Ffmpeg gotta be on that list
Irfanview
grep
Wine/Proton and Steam Deck
Firefox, since it’s the last truly good non-google-controlled browser, I think. And it didn’t just actively try to destroy ublock origin and other ad blocking plugins.
Safari is apple controlled.
Ya true, but for those of us on Linux or windows, Firefox is the way.
Yep. A Linux build + Firefox (with Privacy Badger and ublock origin plugins)
Man, this extension is vital for the internet. Do they take donations at all?
Fucking legend
Unshakable
Not all heroes wear capes
Does it still work? Last few times I’ve tried it it didn’t do much.
Not on Chrome, on Firefox it does wonders
Bonus tip, you can install extensions on Firefox mobile and block those pesky ads too
Only on Android unfortuantely. On iOS, Firefox is just a skin for Safari with no plugin support (thanks Apple!).
On iOS
See, that’s where you went wrong.
Edit : Orion has been suggested as an iOS browser in another comment, though I don’t know if it’s good as I’ve never tried it.
for me Orions addos dont really work
I haven’t tried any other add ons other than ublock, but I can confirm that it works on my iPhone 15 with recent iOS.
Just try looking at the same recipe page in safari and then again in Orion. Night and day.
Well I guess my Safari with adguard works just better for me
Nice! More options for blocking ads is always welcome.
Brave blocks the most ads on the iPhone. Much more than AdGuard. Disadvantage of Brave is their CEO and crypto stuff.
Safari has plugins! Get “Wipr 2”, it blocks ads, cookie banners, autoplaying videos, and all that garbage!
I’ve been using Brave on iOS - it works fine for me as an alternative to Firefox.
On mobile you can use Consent-o-matic
You can use uBO on firefox on android.
I use both😈
(And both on pc and android:)
You can use uBO on iOS now too. The Kagi search engine people have made a mobile browser (Orion) that supports Firefox and Chrome plugins!
My web browsing experience has drastically improved since I was finally able to get uBO back since my switch away from Android.
What
I occasionally do searches to see if there’s a blocker for those obnoxious, “Do you want to use the app?” lightboxes. To no avail. 😿
AdGuard has a filter list for Mobile App Banners.
You can make your own filters. Press the zap button to temporarily block something (to test) and the eyedropper to permenantly make a filter.
I try that in uBlock from time to time, but I still can’t seem to get it quite right. Testing in Duolingo right now, I set it to get rid of the app popup, as well as the semitransparent overlay that darkens the whole page. But there’s still some element on the page that restricts me from scrolling until I tap on the page. It’s an improvement, but still not quite there yet.
I just imported it, and still have to tap before I can swipe. I also checked eBay after importing, and that app banner still pops up.
Ublock Origin also has a section called annoyances, some of those lists probably block them.
I’ve already gone through and toggled on virtually all of the filter lists.
Is there anything for all the “subscribe to newsletter” popups on news sites and online stores?
Yes, those should be included under “Annoyances”
