For those that don’t know, Firefox has in-built support for automatically rejecting cookies and blocking the cookie banners from popping up.

To enable this feature, go to about:config, and perform the following:

  • change cookiebanners.service.mode from 0 to 2

To have this functionality in Private browsing mode, you should also:

  • change cookiebanners.service.mode.privateBrowsing from 0 to 2.

All Power to the People!

edit: (credit for this information goes to this lemming). Apparently, mode 2 means reject all or fall back to accept all if there is no Reject All button. Mode 1 only hits a Reject All button if available but ignores others.

    Oh boy this is great for privacy but it’s also going to break a lot of academic shit that relies on cookies for authentication

      I don’t think this blocks all cookies, but instead disables all non-essential cookies in those cookie consent dialogs
