This seems to work on most websites so far and it's definitely needed. I'm also glad to see it's available on Safari. The donation options are not for me though, I went looking for a way to pay for it one off, but I wouldn't want to subscribe for that.

Does it automatically reject cookies and opt out of all tracking or automatically accept everything for you?

@mikaelf It actually only blocks the consent nags, but that's enough in most cases. I use it together with incognito mode for best privacy/user experience combo. Read more here: https://github.com/oblador/hush/...

Congratulations on the launch! :) I can't help but feel that this plugin might do more harm than good though? Cookie policies are required by law, and they must block cookies until you have accepted them. By blocking the cookie policy notice itself, your user experience will get worsened because none of the cookies are accepted at all. Curious to hear what others think?

@sunebthorsen i think so too. it would make sense to run it alongside cookie autodeleter and the like

@sunebthorsen Essential cookies that are needed for the site functionality are allowed without consent. Typically the cookies that are not essential are for analytics/tracking purposes and I think most can live without those :-) If you find any site that is broken due to the blocking please report it and I'll try to fix as quickly as I can.

@trastknast Good point. As long as the essential cookies are enabled prior to / without the user selecting either to "only accept essential cookies" in the cookie notice :) I also agree with your point about tracking cookies - it's great that those are optional. Analytics cookies being blocked are making the internet a worse place though, but that's a regulatory issue and has nothing to do with Hush - I just think it needs to be talked about more often (and I'd love to hear what you think about it - but again, not meant as a critical comment about Hush at all! <3). If website owners can't see which ad channels their customers are coming from, they have no option but to just spam ads everywhere ("spray and pray"), which makes the internet worse for everyone. With some tracking, they can limit those ads to the platforms where users are actually interested in the products being advertised (because they can see which channels most effectively converted ads into customers).

Love this on iOS, any way to get it working on Catalina?

@0jay I made this project partly as an excuse to check out the new Swift UI features launched with Big Sur knowing that it would exclude Catalina support. Currently no plans to rewrite it to support older versions of macOS. Sorry 😬

You got there before me! Best of luck it.

Does it auto-deny or auto-accept cookies then?
Stephanie Russell
This is AWESOME! Can't wait to use it.

Nice to see this one for Safari. Most add ons like this are for Chrome. Congrats on the launch.

That's what I've been looking for a long time!
