Lately the browser and/or websites seems to keep bugging me, and I am getting a little tired of it.
The questions it keeps asking for each website are the following:
- "We use cookies to ensure ... etc."
- "Would you like Firefox to save this login for [sitename]?"
- "Will you allow [sitename] to send notifications?"
The amount of questions a website/webbrowser offers me seems to have been proliferating lately.
I always accept cookies, but I never want the other options.
Seeing as I am using Firefox at the moment, let's see what we can do about it.
- The "i-don't care about cookies' addon1 2 seems to suit me just fine.
- Preferences - Privacy & Security - Forms & Passwords - turn off "Remember logins and passwords for websites".
- Go to "about:config". Search for "dom.webnotifications". Set "dom.webnotifications.enabled" to false to not see any notifications3.
UBlock addon4 5 seems to be also very good.
