Suggestion for Privacy Badger #628

Open cypherpunk opened 9 years ago

cypherpunk commented 9 years ago

Dear Sir / Madam

Although your Privacy Badger add-on for Firefox and Chrome is excellent, I'm sure others would agree that it would be made much better if, like the "Ghostery" add-on, there was an option for all users, if they so wish, to block (Yellowlist) ALL cookies automatically, whether good or bad, as they open up a web page / website. If they wished to allow a cookie access again (Green List), they could easily do this by clicking on the add-on icon and moving the slider on the appropriate cookie to the right.

I'm sure many would like this option to be in the next upgrade of Privacy Badger, and hopefully one, like Ghostery, you will seriously consider incorporating.

Many thanks.

All the best.

There's an option in Firefox for that - just set "Accept cookies from sites" setting to "Never" in Preferences -> Privacy panel. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/settings-privacy-browsing-history-do-not-track#w_use-custom-settings-for-history_2

Hello, I think you misunderstood me. I'm aware of that option in Firefox (and in Chrome it's going into "Incognito" mode), but I'm asking if the Privacy Badger add-on could have an option to block (Yellowlist) ALL cookies that it finds on the web page automatically? Ghostery has this option, surely Privacy Badger should have it too, so users have an option to use it?

This still completely duplicates the behavior of the "block all third party cookies". I don't understand how this would offer any advantage over functionality which is already built into the browser.
