Description Alberto Salvia Novella 2021-03-11 22:33:34 UTC
If you live in the European Union there's something EXTREMELY🤯 more annoying than those ads, which is that for every single new website you visit you are requested to provide detailed confirmation on which cookies you accept.

This usually takes time, because most websites makes the process of disabling cookies as hard as legally possible. For example by forcing to select the settings each time you visit the web, if you have previously rejected them, or by designing the UI in such way that people will confuse disabling the cookies with accepting all of them.

The add-on "I don't care about cookies" eliminates those request, and just disallows all cookies. It would be of huge value having it ported into Falkon.

By the way adding a cookies filter list to the ad-blocker usually fails with many websites.

I've set this to a wishlist as it's a feature request.

As for the cookies filter list not working please submit that as a separate bug so we can track each request.

Alberto unless you're planning on providing the patch for this change I'd suggest leaving the assignee on the default so the developers can look at this.
