I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies VS brave-browser

Funny, I use the "I still don't care about cookies" extension (https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies) right now to automatically accept the cookie banners. They're literally one of the most annoying things that has happened in the web's history

https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies does reject non-technical cookies – as much as it can – but https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete will do the rest.

I much prefer https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies (far more reliable in my experience)

Random aside: this extension had absolutely the worst internals of any I've ever looked at. Love the functionality, but really wish I didn't see the spaghetti behind the illusion (source files below). It feels like approaching it as a text classification problem might produce a clean general solution

I'll suggest I Still Don't Care About Cookies, since the original is yet another one of those extensions that got sold to a for-profit company with dubious intent. Avast, in this case. https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies

How safe is this extension https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies (fork of the "I Don't Care About Cookies" extension bought by Avast)? And what is the difference between using one of the extensions mentioned above and adding the filter https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/abp/ in UBlock Origin? How effective is this filter compared to the extension?

I use "I still don't care about cookies": https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies

Rejects/Hides/Accepts depending on the situation. Not ideal, but hides a lot of these messages.

Which was bought by Avast, so lots of people switched to the forked open version [1] (thank you GPL).

From https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies a spinoff since the original extension got bought out:

> In most cases, the add-on just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do). It doesn't delete cookies.

You'll notice the actual patching itself is introduced with the caveat:

Brave browser, which blocks ads and trackers, grew to over 50 million monthly active users in 2023 while enabling privacy-first models to counter Google's search and Chrome browser ecosystem.

Still waiting on the Brave stable release with the patched version of chromium https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/35013

Manually download the standalone version from: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v1.61.101 and update it that way.

Upgraded Chromium to 120.0.6099.71. (#34740) (Changelog for 120.0.6099.71)

For those looking for a fix: Use the latest Nightly Build for Brave.
