    I’m talking about auto denial of consent, not blocking of tracking cookies after consent. And I didn’t say “block all cookies”, you’re reaching.

    Also they simply aren’t the same thing, there is overlap in functionality. You can read more about that from one of the devs here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31680164

    You’ll also find a dozen others successfully using both of them in tandem in that thread. Taking a negative attitude towards using multiple plugins because it’s “not recommended” doesn’t change their distinct uses. If you prefer an easy life and would rather have one plugin because you just prefer one plugin, that’s your choice.

    My multi browser plugin + PiHole + USG setup has been working wonderfully for years, so I’ll take the evidence in front of my eyes over the recommendation of someone who doesn’t even understand the disjoint features of the plugins.

      I don’t see anything in that thread about consent banners, only that privacy badger tries to identify trackers not on its blocklist, a feature I don’t want. I also don’t understand why blocking consent to receive cookies is at all useful when you can simply block the cookie after consent.

      On the off chance you’re talking about blocking cookie consent banners (i.e. the popups on websites that ask your consent to send certain cookies), uBlock does that.

      I’m sure your PiHole and USG almost fully cover any downsides to your below average choice in browser extension.

      something works well ≠ whole thing good

        uBlock does not do that for a cohort of websites for which I have tested it.

        You’re acting like I haven’t tested this setup when I’ve told you that I have. Again, the evidence in front of your own eyes is a good place to start so try some testing yourself to understand where the limits of each reside.

          Turn on “Easylist Cookies” in uBlock. Also, I feel like a broken record, but why wouldn’t you just use an extension like this?

          Also, if uBlock’s list is missing a cookie banner, it takes two clicks to remove it permanently with the element zapper.

          There is no evidence in front my eyes?

            You’re taking unnecessary issue with a working setup. I’ve demonstrated why your concerns don’t bear fruit. There is nothing left to discuss here.

              Lmao working ≠ perfect, and unnecessary ≠ invalid. You haven’t demonstrated anything besides linking to a Hacker News post that didn’t talk about the feature you said it did.

              There is nothing left to discuss here.
