Currently running with uBlock Origin with a lot of filter lists and Consent-o-matic, and the hidden setting to auto decline cookie dialogs but still getting popups, sticky videos and such.

Used to go with I still don’t care about cookies but heard it can default to accepting more cookies than needed

    I also use SponsorBlock for YouTube, which skips sponsor segments in YouTube videos (and optionally other kinds of segments like intros, self promos, etc.) it’s crowd-sourced for identifying the segments but for almost all the videos I watch someone has already marked at least the sponsor segments

        Thanks! I wrote that when on mobile, so I didn’t think to add instructions 😅. Also, if the user needs to allow some cookies, they can be set at Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies & Site Data > Manage Exceptions.

      Pretty sure I get more cookie banners because my cookies auto delete

        Is to prevent that that you configure UBO in medium mode. Since many cookie banners are loaded by a 3rd party script, they’re blocked by UBO when configured this way. For the rest I use one of the “Annoyances” filter that come preinstalled. Since the time I adopted this method (~3 years) I think I can count the number of cookie banners I’ve seen with the fingers of one hand.

    Kill Sticky to “Kill off the annoying floating things blocking the website you’re trying to see.”

    Notes:

    • In some pages it removes too much and it breaks the page.
    • It’s not automatic, you need to click it manually. Because the previous point, it wouldn’t be practical to always execute it.
