Awesome but i really really want "I don't care about cookies". Please please let us have it (without having to jump through strange hoops)

You can block many websites cookie banners by using ublock origin and enable some of the Annoyances filter lists in the settings.

I use the "AdGuard annoyances" and "easylist cookie" lists and that blocks many cookie banners.

Also, "I don't care about cookies" was recently bought by a company, which could mean bad things for the extension in the future.

Do you still want to use it was took over by Avast?

The extension has fortunately been forked: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/istilldontcar...

I wasn't aware of that. Thank you!

Doesn't Firefox for Android already support uBlock? If so, you can just enable the Easylist Cookie filter, which is disabled by default for whatever reason.

It's not perfect but uBlock Origin has some annoyances lists that help with cookie nags.

A nicer one is Consent-O-Magic

Get Fdroid and install Fennec, it can do any Firefox extension iirc.

Hmm I use F-droid Fennec daily, and it has the same whitelist of available extensions as regular Firefox. I don't see how to add your own, unless you go through the hoops of enabling debug mode (described elsewhere in another comment)

Just get iceraven.

Who is behind Iceraven? I feel uneasy using such a critical component from unknown Internet randos.

Do you know the name of the guy that pushes the FF updates? What is is about a corporate structure that makes it more reputable? If I told you that 99% of iceraven code was produced at Mozilla would that make it better?

Everyone in the world is an unknown internet rando.
