Episode notes
Block Cookie Consent Banners
- Use Brave or uBlock Origin to eliminate annoying cookie consent banners by default or via EasyList Cookie List.
- Blocking banners improves browsing and reduces privacy-harming consent prompts without manual clicks.
Blocking Banners May Not Enforce Site Behavior
- Brave's banner blocking may simply hide prompts; sites decide whether to honor non-responses as rejections.
- Users should be aware that blocking UI doesn't guarantee backend compliance by every website.
Avoid Weak Online ID Verification
- Avoid uploading unverified IDs to online signups that redirect to insecure identity checks.
- Prefer providers that properly validate inputs and do not expose partial SSNs via multiple-choice identity questions.
