DONT use the "I Don't Care About Cookies" plugin. It was sold to Avast. The same company that stole users information and sold it ON A PRIVACY PRODUCT illegally for years causing them to get sued for 16 million. (slap on the wrist tbh)

Go into uBO settings and then filters and enable all the non-language filters. You won't need privacy badger or that cookie addon anymore.
there's some good shit in these comments that I need to come back to later.
Anyone know if there is a proper solution to block ads on twitch? ublock doesn't work for me.
try something from the scripts section on here:

UBO can block YT ads, no need to use a seperate ad blocker for YT
What's with the control+P thing? I have the same paywall bypasser thing right next to it and it just works automatically without needing a special command.
without an extension you can grab the whole page as a PDF before it loads the paywall. you can also use Ctrl+A and Ctrl+V or the reading view function :]
Just using the Brave browser takes care of a few of these by itself and without add-ons.
Lemmy could be better…
Care to provide more information?
it's a reddit competitor that lacks features of reddit, including: multireddits, hiding individual posts, card view that doesn't autoplay video, and more but I'm lazy.
I expect some of those can be found by using a different mobile app
not using an app. I refused to install reddit s app, I won't install lemmys.
Lemmy apps are third party
Firefox actually has their version of tempmail built in now.
it's not like a tempmail it's like proxy email to hide your actual email. So if you sign up for spam the spam will reach your actual email.
Yeah, you can block that at any point though.
What’s the upside down Z-Library icon in the lower left for YT?
Invidous
Currently, it is recovering from attacks from Google. Only self-hosting works reliably at the moment..
Idk it's not NewPipe or Grayjay
Drop IDCAC and Privacy Badger, add consent-o-matic, sponsorblock and bypass paywall clean.
Check Arkenfox for Firefox config and extension recommendations.
https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions
Only use temp mails for unimportant, one-shot account, otherwise use an email relay.
There is also I still don't care about cookies
I don't see its usefulness, uBlock Origin's "Cookie Notices" list does the same thing.
For consent forms consent-o-matic is better, IDCAC / ISDCAC was not created for this.
doesn't consent o matic just accept cookies when it doesn't know how to reject them?
Consent-o-matic is about consent forms, so it'll fill the consent forms giving, by default, the least consent possible. If it doesn't know how to handle a form it'll just not auto-fill it so you'll have to do it yourself. It's not just about cookies, they are just one common way to acquire the data. IDCAC will just hide the form, because it was made to hide cookie notices and later extended to do the same for consent forms. According to the law not filling the form, not giving explicit consent, is like refusing it.
Anyway, none of these extension touch cookies directly, they are only about notice and consent forms. It's up to the website to act accordingly. And none of this will do anything about necessary cookies, or more precisely, about any data deemed necessary, however it's collected.
It's insane how big a fight we have to put to JUST surf the damn Internet.
Ok any tips on how to manage email addresses to minimize their exposure and spam?
I'd actually recommend consent-o-matic instead of IDCAC. It actually selects the minimum concent for you instead of just hiding it.
Privacy badger is not longer needed IIRC, its role is taken care by uBlock.
Ublock origin already has privacy badger and no cookies functionality. Worst case nothing gets blocked. Also slower internet for you.
IDCAC should not be on this list since it was compromised, ABP-style. consent-o-matic is probably better but the most direct replacement is "I Still Don't Care About Cookies".
Doesn't the "EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices" filter in uBlock's settings do the same thing as IDCAC / consent-o-matic?
Cookie notices and consent forms are two different things. The first comes from the ePrivacy Directive while the second comes from the GDPR. Consent forms are not only about cookies, the law doesn't even specify cookies and it's often using confusing phrasing (like "allow to use personal data collected through cookies or other means").
