Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

That website had a huge list to scroll down to opt out of cookies. At the very bottom was a highlighted button to toggle everything on and undo all your hard work.

But I'm sure everything else they do is trustworthy.

I couldn't even have uBlock remove that

This site convinced me to, yet again, block third-party scripts by default on mobile. That works, btw.

Except then it blocks the cookie that remembers your cookie preferences, and your entire time online is spent closing pop ups. Welcome to the future of convenience!

Oh, third-party frames too. This is my default everywhere, so i didn't thought of it. Was it this?

[–] Jtotheb 3 points 2 months ago

Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll see if that does it
