Firefox's total cookie protrction is excelent. Basically cookies are sandboxed into site spesific boxes. So ie a facebook cookie can not be read by the favcebook script on another site. Only on the site that set the original cookie.

I'm not aware of that specifically, but LibreWolf by default blocks all cookies and allows you to set specific sites which can store cookies, very easily, using a sitr whitelist.

This combined with ublock origin should improve your privacy a lot without sacrificing any usability at all.

The firefox extension "forget me not" allows you to fully control which cookies are retained, which are deleted, and how/when. It's easy to customize individual sites on the fly. And it's open source!
Combined with "I still don't care about cookies," you almost never see or have to deal with another cookie consent banner.

Pretty sure there is an "Allow" exception that you can use to keep cookies for the sites you want.

2nd panel means you have to do it again and again for every new website you visit, or if you clear cookies regularly. Using the ublock addon, you have to enable this setting once, and it is persistent across sessions.

Also getting rid of cookie banners doesn't mean the site won't track with third party cookies. The cookies are ON by default and until you tell them to turn it OFF, they keep the cookies on.

That's a good point. However in the EU it should be the opposite - otherwise the site is violating GDPR.

Sometimes I have a feeling sites do whatever they want anyway regardless of bow many dark patterns I click through to find the "no" and "off" buttons because there are no real repercussions. Just like the "do not track" request and "robots.txt" are essentially useless.

The EU didn't force anyone to have the cookie banners. If the site only uses nessecary cookies - the kind you can't turn off in the prompt - there doesn't need to any prompts because that's perfectly fine. The intrusive, obnoxious and deliberate confusing popups are from data harvesters throwing a tantrum because they can't stalk you every waking second any more, and complying in the most malicious and disrespectful way they can.

Cookie banners are nothing to do with the EU and everything to do with tech-bros.

The EU knew about DNT signals before GDPR was finalized and decided to ignore them. I know, I was a web dev at that time (and still am, yes I'm ancient in internet years). This is on the EU and techbros, but having internet explorer and other browsers like firefox (not sure if chrome did it?) enabling DNT by default would make tech bros upset, and the EU couldn't have that, so they made the tech bros a little happier by allowing the consent banners instead.

From the working party back then, which was promptly rejected in the final GDPR we have today:

2016

The Working Party recommends rephrasing the requirements in the current Recital 66 of Directive 2009/136/EC. Instead of relying on website operators to obtain consent on behalf of third parties (such as advertising and social networks), manufacturers of browsers and other software or operating systems should be encouraged to develop, implement and ensure effective user empowerment, by offering control tools within the browser (or other software or operating system) such as Do Not Track (DNT), or other technical means that allow users to easily express and withdraw their specific consent, in accordance with Article 7 of the GDPR. Such tools can be offered to the user at the initial set-up with privacy-friendly default settings. Adherence to accepted technical and policy compliance standards must become a common practice. In addition, website operators should respect and adhere to browser control tools or other user preference settings.

2017

The Working Party recommends that terminal equipment and software must by default offer privacy protective settings, and offer clear options to users to confirm or change these default settings during installation. The settings must be easily accessible during use. Users must be enabled to signal specific consent through their browser settings. Privacy preferences should not be limited to interference by third parties or be limited to cookies. The Working Party strongly recommends to make adherence to the Do Not Track standard mandatory.

Heck, the W3C was even talking about working to make it happen.

Point is, the EU sucked up to corporations, surprise surprise.

I mean.. The EU could've also said 'no privacy invasive cookies' instead of 'cookie Banner if privacy invasive cookies'.

If the cookies are nessecary for the site to technically function, you don't need to be promoted to accept.

For a website, that included cookies for storing preferences, shopping baskets, login tokens, etc.

No it won't work. Chromium V3 disables or removes features that it relied upon to work. That's not to say they might not have found a workaround. But I'm sure it's harder and doesn't work as effectively.

Edit: also Firefox does not use Chromium. So yes switching to Firefox is a viable option. But in no way part of my point.
