New versions of Brave will hide-and, where possible, completely block-cookie consent notifications. And, what is ironic, many cookie consent systems actually track users, introducing the exact harm the consent systems were supposed to prevent. They break and disrupt one of the main benefits of the Web: the ability to browse content across many sites and publishers conveniently and easily. Cookie consent notifications are an infamous and near-constant annoyance on the Web. Starting with the current Brave Nightly, and in version 1.45 when it releases in October, the Brave browser will block cookie consent notifications on Android and Desktop (and, soon after, on iOS). This post was written by Senior Director of Privacy Peter Snyder. This post describes work done by (in alphabetical order): Filter List Enginer Ryan Brown, Principal Engineer Brian Johnson, Android Engineering Manager Deep Pandya, Senior Product Designer AgustÃn Ruiz, and iOS Privacy Engineer Jacob Sikorski. This is the twenty-first post in an ongoing, regular series describing new and upcoming privacy features in Brave.
