I found something against it. You can block this shit with Adblock Plus and of course with our beloved uBlock, just put the huge list into your filters:

Or go to the official site and follow the instructions:

this is brilliant, although most annoying on mobile, where (BBC I'm looking at you) 2/3rds of the screen is 'do you want to accept cookies' y/n
Re: The Web General
some sites even do "do you want to accept cookies? YES" - that's it. i mean, the idea behind it is okay but indeed it is annoying as fuck.
All statements are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense.

Re: The Web General
I have ASCENDED!!1! Not really, but in all seriousness I found a setup that works pretty well for me and maintains a small browser fingerprint. I dropped the wonderful hardening script Stark linked to into my ~/.config/firefox/*.profile and tossed on a few addons:
Certificate Patrol
- Make sure it is enabled for private browsing mode too, as it won't do you much good if combined with the above user.js.
Greasemonkey
- I still have a few userscripts that I use from time to time on websites.
HTTPS Everywhere
NoScript
- With a rather large whitelist. Sites like Reddit/YouTube can be a pain to browse without java enabled.
Stylish
- Darkening everything that I can with userstyles and changing the html5 bar in YouTube to a color that fits my current palette.
And adding this string in my about:config (I will usually set the value as the most common Firefox user agent.)

Re: The Web General
I always tried to find an add-on that would force my own fonts or vice versa, especially on Chrome. On FF you can force your fonts but sometimes it interferes with symbols on the web.
There is such an add-on. You can still force all your fonts but make some exceptions to use the web fonts or use web fonts only and force fonts on specific sites. At least for FF:
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/a ... e/?src=api

Re: The Web General
Using Google's botnet/Chrome browser? More importantly, are you still using that hateful ol' Flash? (Perhaps because you can't kick that old Spotify habit?) Shame on you us, but anyway we still have to contend with the fact that it can slow down our browsing. Wanting a way to block it on default but be able to whitelist it for particular pages/websites?

Re: The Web General
Honestly, by now click-to-play does just this. You can also black-/white-list Flash. Just saying.

^ Ah, I didn't even think of using click-to-play on Chrome!

Playing around with Chromium on an Ubuntu (*gasp*) 15.10 install today. Installed this nifty night-time extension called Dark Reader. You can play with brightness, contrast, sepia, grayscale, etc. etc. Not bad!
