If you want to lose the annoying blue box/strip then read this page & decide whether to install the add-on :

I've done it on Chrome and Firefox and it all seems OK

[ you don't need to be using 'the extension that must not be named' - this is entirely separate ]

I thought this was a post about the radical new direction Dr. Who will be taking come October for a second and was horrified.

You are downloading a tool which, quote from site:

"By using it, you explicitly allow websites to do whatever they want with cookies they set on your computer"

no thanks!

^ i thought they did anyway?

[sunny-dave]

That is only an issue if you like to check/refuse cookies whenever asked AuntLydia - when did you last do that?

Most websites won't work if you refuse their cookies - and you can always set your browser to refuse all tracking/marketing cookies if you want.

Sunny-Dave, this is what I meant. Does the App override your personal preferences in your settings?

Can't tell if it's NS Windows only, or Android and other OSs.

I often reject cookies that want to use my location and it doesn't affect my browsing .
