They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the “screenshot” is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.
I thought that “Wayland by default” being merged meant it will be a part of the next release but there wasn’t even a mention of it. Will it be a part of the next release maybe?
I could be wrong, but i think that was probably on the alpha release, which is now the beta release, so maybe the next stable release will have wayland by default.
in Germany there’s a (somewhat) new law that makes it mandatory for all websites to ask you if it can store cookies on your harddrive. since then every time you visit a new page or on a new installation you have to click through three pop-ups, it’s sooooo annoying to navigate the internet since then. so yeah this feature is more then welcome here ^^
And the thing is afaik in the EU websites cant save anything nonessential unless you actively opt-in. In other countries its opt-out. So blocking cookie banners while not strictly cleaning or blocking may be harmful for privacy
As I understand it, the blocker has website-specific rules to automatically click the right buttons. For the first release, they've probably primarily tested those with German websites. I assume that if it works well there and they've ironed out most bugs, we can see it roll out more widely.
I think (and hope) tha the logical conclusion of the DNT lawsuit v LinkedIn will be that DNT will be deemed necessary and sufficient, and that this setting will replace all the cookie banners. But even if that comes to pass it will be years before all the banners will be gone.
