A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

MODERATORS
I've also been enjoying "I don't care about cookies" extension.
Please don't hang me up on this, but I'm pretty sure that "I don't care about cookies" defaults to accepting some/all cookies, while ublock blocks them.
Both get rid of the banners, but if you also want to get rid of the cookies themselves, then ublock might be better.
Edit: Or rather ublock blocks the banner, which means that the site can't legally put a cookie on your PC.
That's correct, it basically is a convenience to get to the site and does nothing for privacy. Also the developer sold out to Avast.
If you want something like this, what you want is https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies which is a fork without the Avast bs
Well, TIL.
I thought it just hid all of them without accepting. Should've read thoroughly.
