Never use Ghostery extension, use Privacy Badger instead!
Don't even need Privacy Badger nowadays, uBlock origin does it all.
Out of the box, or do you need to configure uBlock?
@Gnorv @sir_whocampsalot Yeah. There are some neat things you should enable.
...could you give a hint on which things?
I like the "never consent" feature of Ghostery (automatically declines all cookies when asked )
Does Privacy Badger have a similar feature?
Ublock Origin has filter lists to just block cookie banners. They're not allowed to use tracking cookies if you don't click accept.
How come?
