I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies VS hn-search

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.

Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.

I understand the reason for repeating these sentiments—it's the same reason why they get upvoted to the top of threads*—but repetition of this kind is what we're most trying to avoid here.

I was looking for it in the guidelines. There are a couple of conventions for postings. Consider a bit of prior examples: [https://hn.algolia.com/?q=show+hn]

yeah there are only three stories coming up from the site search

https://hn.algolia.com/?q=postgres+clustering

only one is semanthically correct, the other pick up the wrong version of clustering (i.e. k-means instead of multi master writes)

but yeah if one doesn't test the hard cases, how does one know it preserves semantics :D

The submitted title was "Gary Killdall, creator of CP/M, wrote Pixar's original 3D renderer".

Submitters: If you want to say what you think is important about an article, that's fine, but do it by adding a comment to the thread. Then your view will be on a level playing field with everyone else's: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...
