I think the current cookie consent situation highlights how we need technical solutions to tracking instead of “please don’t track me” buttons, even if it’s enforced by law. Good on brave for blocking those, they’re super annoying. Although I was hoping that Global Privacy Control would have taken care of the problem by now.
I am actually working on a filter list for blocking annoying related/recommended articles on news websites.
I must say it’s quite a lot of work, especially since websites are so bloated nowadays, sometimes div class names are just random strings (still the exception).
Fortunately CSS selectors are quite powerful.
I am interested in knowing if this cookiecrumbler could be used for that purpose. But it seems they use a custom LLM, and they don’t specify how they finetuned it.
