Careful, mode 2 means reject all or fall back to accept all if there is no Reject All button. So use that only if cookies are disabled or otherwise controlled, for example by an AddOn like Cookie AutoDelete. If not, rather use mode 1 that hits only a Reject All button if available but ignores others.

Oh boy this is great for privacy but it’s also going to break a lot of academic shit that relies on cookies for authentication
I don't think this blocks all cookies, but instead disables all non-essential cookies in those cookie consent dialogs
So, firefox achieving feature parity with lynx? :^)
CLI is king ;-)
or use Consent-O-Matic to automatically reject all the non-essential cookies https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/
Ah that's a much better choice than just blanket blocking all cookies
It’s good but nowhere near as good as I-Dont-Like-Cookies was. Shame that guy sold out. Consent-O-Matic still seems to miss a lot of consent screens.
There is a community version called "I still don't care about cookies" https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Dont-Care-About-Cookies
Does "Reject All" also object to legitimate interest?
I prefer an "accept all" approach, refusing all of them will lead to a degraded experience
Except abusers like Facebook who go in their dedicated isolated container
When mentioning data harvesting leviathans, Facebook is definitely on the list, but Google is the undisputed champ of surveillance capitalism. They’ve just got so many people addicted to their “free” services that most don’t want to mention it. I use Firefox mainly because it’s not Chromium based.
According to Mozilla setting both to the value 1 is the better idea. The fallback then won't be "Accept all".
This isn't anything new. Firefox lost the lead ages ago (thanks, Mozilla):

a chrome reskin, cryptominer and the CEO's an anti-LGBT fascist. no thanks.
The cryptominer part is just FUD. Learn how it works. And the browser itself is way more private then FF by default.
The CEO was one also of the cofounders of Mozilla. How ironic.
Also, the actual CEO of Mozilla is doing a great job... At increasing her paycheck while firing developers:

Mozilla is one of the most corrupt orgs out there, right now.

Really? Compared to google, the banks, etc? You say they're one of the worst?
