Cookie Monster is an application (or website) designed to protect users' privacy and security by blocking tracking technologies used by advertisers and websites. It prevents websites from collecting data about users, such as their browsing history, location, and IP address. It also blocks cookies, which are used to profile users and serve them targeted ads. Additionally, Cookie Monster blocks social media buttons and widgets, which can be used to collect data about users and track their activities across the web. Finally, Cookie Monster also helps protect users from malicious scripts and code that could be used to hijack their devices or steal their data.
Discontinued The extension is no longer maintained and does not work in Firefox 55 or newer. It still works in XUL-based Firefox forks such as https://alternativeapp.info/software/waterfox/ and https://alternativeapp.info/software/palemoon/.
