4am, in Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM

They are doing a version of it for video players, actually.

You know, so you can’t watch YouTube on alternate clients.

KarnaSubarna, in Is there any Firefox extension to automatically reject cookie popups?

addons.mozilla.org/…/i-dont-care-about-cookies/

One of those extensions recommended by Mozilla.

thanksforallthefish,

Doesnt this mean that you’re by default agreeing to the cookies though ? I’ve tested not responding to the pop up on several websites and they all write cookies if you don’t respond

QuazarOmega,

Is that so? That’s awful, theoretically websites shouldn’t store any until you actually agree, maybe except the “necessary” ones.

Anyways, I’d advise to use I still don’t care about cookies instead if you really want to use the extension, as the original has been acquired by Avast, of all companies.
For an extension that is more refined in how it handles the cookie pop ups there’s Consent O Matic, but in my experience it covers fewer websites so you’re either fine with that or contribute by reporting unsupported websites.
There’s also the uBlock Origin option, it has a filter list for cookie pop ups that should pretty much work like the first extension

You are right; I should have fully read OP’s post before advising.

In my case, all cookies (except the ones I marked as exception) are deleted when browser is closed. Note, 3rd party cookies are by default blocked on Firefox.

I found this to be right setup for me.

Sorry, for the confusion.

BudgetBandit, in New Outlook update sends passwords and mails on private servers to MS. Ulrich Kelber, TheCommissioner for Data Protection of Germany plans to submit inquires on Tuesday

Guess I’ll switch to an iCloud mail account with a separate private relay forward-mail for every other account then.

privacybro, in What custom uBO filter lists do you use?

Anything beyond defaults will give you a permanent unique browser fingerprint, as ublock lists are detectable in the DOM

dummy,

fr?

Vexz,

Dunno. That would mean websites would know what filter lists inside an adblocker browser addon you use, which I can't imagine tbh. But I'd say it's a gamble. With more block lists you can achieve more privacy but maybe (if privacybro is right) fingerprinting you is easier. You decide what is the right choice to make here.

Damn this was unexpected. So it seems they’ll just proxying / serving all email to Outlook apps through their servers. Damn Microsoft that’s really fucking anti-competitive.

Pyr_Pressure,

Oh, I fully put the blame on Microsoft for all of my emails issues that I’ve been having.

Microsoft is balls.

I don’t know of any extension that DENY cookies for firefox but it’s buyild into

ndonkersloot, in Is there any Firefox extension to automatically reject cookie popups?

I started using consent-o-matic on my android phone in Mull, this does exactly what you describes. It accepts and rejects the settings you like.

consentomatic.au.dk

snazzles,

Works great on firefox desktop too

Great, Google and Cloudflare taking yet another chunk for the Internet. Becoming the middle-man in everything.

Centralize the internet MORE until there is only ONE SITE. Only then will it be PERFET.

Well Facebook tried that.

IphtashuFitz,

Isn’t Elon attempting that with X?

Saff, in New Outlook update sends passwords and mails on private servers to MS. Ulrich Kelber, TheCommissioner for Data Protection of Germany plans to submit inquires on Tuesday

Honestly the thing that annoys me the most about this isn’t the privacy aspect. It’s the fact that they called it “new outlook”. Which means now at work I have to explain that no, this isn’t real outlook it’s just MS being useless wankers and not being able to come up with a new name for a new product. See also, teams vs teams for work and school. They did the same thing with Skype and Skype for business back in the day and still pisses me off.

Pyr_Pressure,

I fucking hate Microsoft so goddamn much for their bullshit naming process.

I also hate everyone for the stupid process of separating work and personal accounts. It’s caused me nothing but grief.

This keeps popping up. Isn’t this mostly because ‘new’ Outlook is basically just a wrapper for owa?

Not proceeding yet. Will be implemented on another time with a different name and piece by piece instead.

random65837, in Article 45 Will Roll Back Web Security by 12 Years

Funny all the excuses made by the sheep on how great the EU govt is for all their internet greatness when theyve proven at every front their even worse than the US. Which is an accomplishment.

ILikeBoobies, in Is there any Firefox extension to automatically reject cookie popups?

Remember to use Firefox containers, then you can accept all the cookies you want and they will never see outside of the container

It’s pretty laborious to do this for casual browsing though. The websites I visit regularly where it’d be worth configuring this aren’t the ones with cookies I’m worried about.
