Facebook's 'Clear History' Tool Doesn't Clear Shit (2020)

uBlock has a blocklist for cookie notices and other annoyances. Turning it off feels like watching cable TV after a decade of Netflix.

It's crazy that we need to go through so much crap (tracking, cookie notices, ads, newsletter prompts, SEO keyword soup) to get the simplest answers.

The website I run is deliberately annoyance-free. I see it as a competitive advantage.

There's also a Firefox extension called "I don't care about cookies"

You can use their blocklist with uBlock Origin. It's a great extension but it wasn't available on Firefox for Android. Maybe that changed.

There's a few of them, labelled "annoyances". You can also subscribe to I Don't Care About Cookies' list.
