Here's how to auto-delete cookies without an extension: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/blob/128.0/user.js#L669
Set privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown and privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage (I don't know if privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies is still needed) to true.
To allow a website to keep cookies do CTRL+I on the address bar then check "Set cookie" in the Permissions tab.
It's really standard to leave some time for users to adapt when making a big change. Especially end users. It's actually a good thing, the "friend showing up" analogy makes no sense.
End of support for users is June 2024.
But it did seem to have changed a year ago or so, my bad.
Depends on the country you're in.
Why should testing be done over some allegation by an organization that's not recognized by the IOC?
The question of what should be done can be interesting, but that was not my question. It's obvious this is not the motive here.
If you are in your own country opposition it's better to use a foreign tool, even better if it's in a country that's not gonna collaborate with yours.
Funny thing is that LSP was actually created for VSCode. That's the now standard protocol to decouple language specific things (completion, formatting, linting…) from the editor so you don't have to use an editor for each language. You can now use any editor that supports LSP, either directly or through a plugin, and turn it into a fully fledged IDE by installing the LSP servers for the language you need. I guess some VSCode plugins use LSP under the hood and just embed the server.
uBlock Origin also does a lot more than just block request, I'm not sure features like cname uncloacking would be feasible as an userscript.
Twice the chances of being detected
Double the attack surface
Half the performance
It really does not work like that. If you need a second adblocker to block somethings just enable the block list of the second one in the first one.
In fact just use uBlock Origin and be done with it.
Privacy Badger is pretty useless now.
Well yes, there is very little charcuterie on this picture.
No one is going to read first hand what you are up to. It's just companies trying to automate pricing based on data they collect so they can up prices when you need something the most. That's just one simple example so you can understand but there are plenty of other things you can do with the collected data.
This is also important because they'll just straight up sell it to data brokers that'll aggregate it, make it searchable and sell access to it to just anybody. And even if you feel your are not an interesting target now you never know how it'll be in the futur, once the data is out you can't do much.
