Accepting cookie notifications of the same site is time consuming and annoying #9338

Have you searched for similar issues? Yes.

Description

It's becoming really frustrating having to constantly select 'Accept' for cookie notifications, especially when you're doing it over and over again of the same site.

I suppose it's not much of an issue for users that don't clear data on exit often or do it manually if they don't trust the other.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Either manually clear most/all data and reopen bookmarks where there are multiple tabs of the same site.
  2. Every bookmark will load simultaneously and have you constantly select 'Accept'.
  3. Do that for every tab of the same site and the Estimated Time Saved on Brave's New Tab page becomes more and more incredulous.

Expected result:

I can't tell you the exact result of the way I would prefer it but just to give you two possibilities.

  1. Have feature where by users can select an automation feature which automatically removes/accepts all cookie notifications.

  2. In reference to another issue, If you open a selection of bookmarks where there are more than a couple or a dozen of the same sites, perhaps if every single bookmark that is opened doesn't technically load and the first tab of that site is opened, naturally you'd be expected to select 'Accept' at least once, I'm assuming having tested it unintentionally a few times before, that that site will capture the fact that you've already accepted cookies.

Miscellaneous Information:

In reference to Expected result, I got a feeling you know which other feature I'm talking about so perhaps you can link it. I can't seem to find it, it was something along the lines of slowly load.

Maybe this won't need to be seen to if the other issue has a P1 or P2 label attached to it and my assumption about the site recognising the acceptance of the initial cookie.

This should be coming with first-party cosmetics, see brave://adblock and use of Easylist Cookies

Has this been resolved yet? Having the same problem as OP, used easylist cookies, I don't care about cookies and a few others with no luck. Same lists on ublock origin (desktop) and firefox (mobile) seem to block the warning just fine.
Able to reproduce every time on https://superuser.com/

@ryanbr What? I don't know what that means.

If we're opening a dozen tabs of the same site from bookmarks and we accept cookies from the initial/first tab, how exactly does the cosmetics thing you're talking about help/prevent us from literally 'Accept'-ing the remainder 11 tabs?

When this is investigated further, prioritized and merged with comments from the dupes, perhaps it can be re-titled to something along the lines of 'Avoiding Repetitive Clicks'. I say this because it really isn't just about the cookies and GDPR notices but constant notifications that would appear after a system or browser clean, not to mention if you actually use a VPN as well if you understand what I mean.

My understanding, trying to hide that login/consent request will cause issues @NumDeP

Cause issues?

Okay it was slightly off topic but it was the fact we're often performing repetitive tasks every time when simply trying enter a site especially when you're performing a clean of the browser/system on exit/manually and I figured Brave should do something without our involvement. I honestly believe the team should work at making the browser work out-of-the-box, otherwise the browser would feel too much like a developer friendlier solution. I mean, which Joe do you know wants to play about with about:config, that in itself is annoying.

I noticed you recently closed you can have my damn cookie! should be a browser setting though it is similar, it doesn't strictly pertain to the experience. Another user has mentioned these solutions on googles web store -
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/i-dont-care-about-cookies/fihnjjcciajhdojfnbdddfaoknhalnja - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/consent-o-matic/mdjildafknihdffpkfmmpnpoiajfjnjd I'd like you and other members to have another look at them and realise that this should be a simple feature toggle i to toggle in Shields rather somewhere more complicated especially when you come to notice a lot of the extensions and all related ones have over half million users. Naturally like many others would understand using Brave it is so unnecessary to bloat up brave with some many different extension using up resources and cluttering the bar with yet another extension.

Furthermore, I don't think your solution addresses the problem of opening a lot of tabs from the same site and or different sites in one go. notices will likely continue to appear in every tab.

YES - Those youtube pages are infuriating too

I've recently started using 'Continue where you left off', I've also started to use a service which requires a login and for some of its pages, loading brave from startup causes the tabs/sites to force me to complete the captcha in every single tab. It's really annoying as firstly the site doesn't really corporate with every single captcha entry, actually it doesn't at all because it has an issue with adblocking only when loading multiple tabs together, it must having something to do with abuse of service, though not sure.

Hi @Brave-Matt is this issue in anyway related to the link below or is it just similar? https://www.techradar.com/news/brave-is-about-to-solve-one-of-the-most-frustrating-problems-with-browsing-the-web

If it isn't related, I'd appreciate if a team member in dev could take another look at this and bump it to p2 because it is somewhat similar and it is such a worthwhile feature that if not fixed would continue to equally negatively impact and disrupt browsing and work productivity experience.

Thanks

Hi @rebron I think this issue has mostly been resolved hasn't it? I think I was the first one to create an issue for it but the team worked on it behind the scenes without this.

The last comment I would make regarding this feature is based on the comment I made on May 24th. Maybe one way to recreate it would be to open a few yahoo page, save them as bookmarks, and reopen the bookmarks on private window see what happens.

Would it be possible to replace Easylist Cookies with Adguard Cookies?

More sites break with Easylist Cookies because it is poorly maintained.
