From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Reject all not essential
peanut butter cookie = essential
I'm usually too lazy to click into those things, when I'm on my phone I use Firefox focus and just accept all be cause as soon as I'm done viewing the site it's all gone anyways
I use fennec (firefox from f-droid) with uBlock using all the filters, so I get no popups anymore.
Can opt to automatically open links in private navigation too.
Oh that's cool, which extension deals with the cookie thing? I use Firefox normally.
Consent-O-Matic https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/
Ah, I love discovering software that makes using the internet less terrible!
And if you already use uBlock Origin for adblocking, you can simply enable the cookie-notice filters and avoid needing to install another extension:
Nice! I took the liberty of adding a few more nice-to-haves I found there. I often forget this is a thing that can be changed. Thanks!
uBlock Origin.
