Ah, you're right, when I reset my site cache for steamdeckhq.com it comes up with that cookie window again.
Luckily, Ublock Origin still has you covered! Click the UBO icon and click the little lightning bolt, starts "element zapper" mode. That allows you to create your own custom filters, just by clicking things on a page that you don't like.
I was able to remove this cookie window with the zapper. If you accidentally zap something you want to keep, you can go to UBO settings and look for it in the "My Filters" section. Each new filter is noted with a timestamp so you know which ones you created today.
Tried that. Doesn't work for me, either. At some point I just think "okay this creator does not respect their users enough for me to care about their site".
GamingOnLinux has an excellent site free of cookies, trackers and doesn't even embed their own YouTube videos so I will continue getting my SD news there.
Thank you
Yeah fair enough, if a website is going to be this annoying then you could argue we just shouldn't go there.
But I still want to spread the gospel of Ublock Origin where I can. The zapper feature can be a little finicky, depending on how a site is structured. It helps to move the mouse around and try to find a spot that covers the entire area that you want to get rid of.
