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

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
