@clemens Oh, I didn't know that's by your group. I've had it on my to-do list to swap an (older) add-on I've been using for Consent-o-matic and see how well it works. Did that just now!

@scottytrees @clemens "I Still Don't Care About Cookies" accepts cookies, Consent-O-Matic denies them unless you configure it otherwise.

@clemens I use since years. I love it. It's one of the few extension I need.
I think a part of the problem is the popularity of the "i don't care about cookies" extension which is still popular but it's bad for the web because it accept all cookies when the popup can't be dismissed (last time I've checked). People should be aware that explicitly refusing cookies is important. Or, the ad industry will get to the regulator saying "see?? 99% people accept cookies so why bother with consent??"

@gunchleoc
What? "I Still Don't Care About Cookies" accepts cookies? Are you sure about that? -
@l_inadapte That's what its description says
