Firefox is an awesome Browser platform. Its not perfect out of the box, and most certainly Mozilla doesnt care to remove proprietary tracking addons from their store.

Lets gather some more addons that you should not install!

I still don’t care about cookies does not decline cookies. It gives consent to those it can't hide the banners of. And in doing so gives consent to their practices.

Maybe not an issue for sites you visit anonymously. But when you log in or are otherwise traceable, you're consenting to their practice.

I've never installed addons that automatically give consent. The uBlock Origin lists cover most websites anyway.

I still don't care... declines when it is possible. If it isn't Cookie Autodelete deletes it as soon, as you leave the site (if set up this way). So the worst case scenario is, I have a cookie installes while I'm staying on a website...which is irrelevant. I also have uBlock Origin running, btw.

It may not be the very best option from a privacy POV (which still is NoScript) but it is very convenient.
