Hey!

I would like to hear from you if you have a successful method to block the various cookie banners like:

  • small banners
  • full page banners with complicated structure
  • full page banners which say 'pay or accept'
  • bonus points for newsletter popups

I do use uBlock and PiHole. But when I used extensive lists which handled cookies, my experience was that most websites broke some kind or another.

So please share your successful ways with me :)

I’m a very happy user of Consent-O-Matic, a browser extension developed by Aarhus University -> https://consentomatic.au.dk/

This looks really promising. Not available on mobile though, but I will test on my desktop.

There is a way to enable arbitrary add-ons to work on Firefox for Android, but you have to do a few extra steps: register a Firefox account, create a collection of extensions, then add that collection to your phone. I can tell you that Conset-o-Matic definitely works if you take this route.

ublock origin has inbuilt filters you can turn on for cookie popups that work for almost every site I've been to I almost never see them anymore ublock origin is just all around great

I think they're called "annoyances" filters

It's sad to see companies' malicious compliance working. They make it tedious so users get exasperated with it and just accept it.

Well to be honest, even if each and every website wouldnt use dar patterns and there is a clear choice to refuse with one click, it would still be obnoxious to decline everytime you visit a site.

"Required cookies" is already a category, under which a cookie could be placed to remember your choice. But that would be counter to their interests.

I set my browser to block all 3rd party cookies and then just click accept
