New feature in nightly? :o

I've been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.

@Atemu This is why, for me, Firefox is unreplaceable on Android. Just the fact that's not Chromium + also supports extensions is what makes it superior.
I wish that it'll come pre-installed in phones instead of Chrome, so more people can give it a try. But is Android and Google would never allow that.

  The question is, did they get your comment? You didn't @ them. Does Mastodon know how to interpret and exchange replies from Lemmy if it doesn't use @ tagging?

  The 60hz on mull is disgusting.

- Too bad the sandboxing is not working. I use Vanadium right now but Firefox on desktop. I would switch instantly if they beefed up security.

  Wait, I can change my homepage URL on iPhone. I find it hard to believe that’s an option exclusive to iPhone.
  
  Edit: it’s at the bottom of the settings>homepage tab

  That is odd. Firefox Nightly at least has an Add to Homescreen option to put a shortcut to the current URL on your homescreem. Then you could put that icon where you want it.

I just noticed a couple of days ago that you can block them in the uBlock Origin annoyances filter list too.

34
- Found out about this literally three days ago and it has been such a blessing. I am a little unsure though with regards to what settings are applied from blocking the banners. I would assume it should enforce a minimal amount of cookies due to the lack of acceptance.

  Unless they have US specific behavior. The US doesn't even require a notice, some devs just included it because they were too lazy to add geolocation.

- Wait till you learn what you can do with the element selector/custom filters. I've made so many trash web pages so much nicer to read just by learning to use that tool. Fandom.com is actually tolerable now.

  uMatrix Filters in combination with uBlock Origin has made my webexperience so much better, that I'm always appaled when I visit websites from other peoples machines.

- Oh shit that's brilliant
  
  Trying the adguard list.

- I think this one is better because blocking content can lead to site breakage. The firefox one seems to automatically click "reject all" or "accept minimal" on the banners (which are standardized iirc), so less potential for breakage.

  I've been using consentomatic on Firefox desktop for a couple of years now and it mostly works great. It does what you described above, so I assume you're right and this one does the same.

Been using "I still don't care about cookies", but native support would be legendary

17
- Wait, I thought that just accepted everything? Because if you don't care about cookies, you'd be fine with anything, no? But "rejecting" cookie banners to me implies rejecting cookies which is different if I'm not mistaken.
  
  34
  
  That extension is just hiding the banner, same as if you blocked it with ublock cosmetic filtering
  
  11
  
  It accepts all or minimal depending on the website.

  "In most cases, the add-on just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do)."

  The name is confusing but it works very well.

It's so unfortunate that Firefox on Android, for some reason, never worked well with password managers (as I understand it, it doesn't support the APIs that Android has for them). Sometimes it'll trigger the manager, more often, it won't. Infuriating and a deal breaker for me.

I'll give it another go, maybe this has been improved recently.

Edit gave it another crack, gosh, it actually works now!

- i rarely have any issues with bitwarden. give it another crack!

  I have to agree. Works better than on Chrome, IMHO.
  
  1
- I had to use the accessibility features of bitwarden to get it to run, but they improved and on many web pages you can now auto fill passwords from the keyboard integration
  
  9
- I use Firefox both on mobile and on desktop with Bitwarden for myself and LastPass for work, both work with very little problems
  
  8
- I use bitwarden and it works quite well there, the most annoying part are websites that split login and password prompts so that you have to use fill-in feature twice
  
  7
- I use the firefox password manager personally. Not sure if that makes me an idiot or not but it works well and I trust mozilla.
  
  4
  
  It doesn't make you an idiot. It is a free service that offers every service a premium password manager does. The real idiots are the people paying mothly for the same thing...

- How do you mean?
  
  I click into a password field, I get a "Fill with KeepassDX"-button above the keyboard, I press that, unlock the database, I'm done and it autofills. You just need to select the Keepass-app of your choice as the password-autofill app in the Android settings, but that's independent of your browser choice anyways.

- Works great here with KeePass2Android on Android 12. If for some reason automatic filling doesn't work switching to the KP2A Keyboard and filling the username and password takes about 5 seconds.
  
  2
- Same than others, I just use Firefox in dekstop and mobile with Bitwarden and it works fantastic.
  
  1
- Works fine with 1Password also, although the experience can somewhat clunky (I use Mull, not Firefox). Planning to migrate to KeePassDX soon, so I'm glad to hear that it should still work.

Me rn.

It's here since April. The popup might be new but not the option.

9
- Interesting, was that ever announced?
  
  2
  
  It was announced for desktop back at the end of 2022. But, like a lot of option on nightly, it pops out without info.
  
  It was a thing in foxfood since the end of November 2022

Firefox is still the best browser. :)

It's existed for a while, but I think that pop-up is new. Or I just forgot about it

7
Oh yeahhhh

Did a bit of research and found out the feature is available on Fennec F-Droid too via about:config.

Here's how to enable: https://community.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/firefox-cookie-banner-handling/

I use firefox clear and it doesn't even haven cocky support.(longer than one session)

- cocky

  That's not how cookies work.

That’s a fantastic feature.

See you in a few weeks, stable channel. Nightly, here I come!

Awesome! I use ninja cookie atm but builtin would be better.

3
Just be careful, those kind of features can sometimes break sites.

Amazing

Blaaah, time to switch!

I tried to accept that for like half a minute. I'm using Firefox nightly. Yes, it's relatively new I think, have seen it a few days ago.

2
awesome

This is awesome! I've enabled this in Librewolf and Mull now, seems to work great in both cases so far.

Firefox bringing an actual useful feature? Not removing one? Not bringing in more telemetry and reporting? Not doing more restrictions? Not copying Chrome?

Am I dead?
