Did we read the same comment? Could you please follow this link and try to explain this behavior? https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters-ansible/issues/45

> They added UI to the browser to claim users could pay individual site creators who'd signed up, but had scraped the names and photos of site creators who'd never heard of them. Brave planned to take the payments after they were unclaimed for 90 days. When caught, they claimed the funds were held "in escrow" but later admitted there were holding the funds themselves.

• I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies

  53 3,181 8.3 JavaScript

  Debloated fork of the extension "I don't care about cookies"

A nearly ideal way to do this on Firefox is to combine

https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Dont-Care-About-Cookies

(which is a maintained fork of the original I don't care about cookies extension, recently bought by Avast)

with https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete

This setup will automatically accept or reject, whichever works, the cookie nonsense and get rid of them once you're done with your tab. CAD comes with a friendly interface to white/greylist cookies you want to keep.

One of the default blocklist for uBlock Origin aims to remove cookie banners too, but a lot of them cannot be simply nuked that way, hence the above method.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io sponsored

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• Cookie-AutoDelete

  73 1,710 0.8 TypeScript

  Firefox and Chrome WebExtension that deletes cookies and other browsing site data as soon as the tab closes, domain changes, browser restarts, or a combination of those events.

• brave-browser

  1,367 16,646 9.9 JavaScript

  Brave browser for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows.

  

That is probably only cosmetic as the crypto related background processes will continue running and cannot be turned off. https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/5429

I haven't installed brave in a long time, but maybe someone can try disabling the 'features' and check if these processes then turn off or not.

• easylist

  338 1,989 10.0 Adblock Filter List

  EasyList filter subscription (EasyList, EasyPrivacy, EasyList Cookie, Fanboy's Social/Annoyances/Notifications Blocking List)

  

EasyList Cookie already contains a section to address this, using uBO syntax.[1]

Best is to report such instances to EasyList maintainers so that a fix will benefit everybody using the list.

• demodal

  4 239 0.0 JavaScript

  Discontinued Demodal is a browser extension that automatically removes content blocking modals including paywalls, discount offers, promts to sign up or enter your email address and more.

I created a browser extension for exactly this called Demodal:
