If you go to uBlock Origin’s settings and then select ‘Filter lists’, there’s a list maintained by EasyList and another by AdGuard that both block cookie notices. To my understanding, this isn’t enabled by default (at least it wasn’t when I installed uBO).

Apologies if this is common knowledge; I didn’t know about it until recently.


Why YSK: Cookie consent pop-ups are annoyances full of dark patterns designed to frustrate you into affirmatively opting into superfluous data collection and letting companies profit off your information. Saving just a few seconds on pages you browse adds up, and this is especially true if you use something like Cookie AutoDelete that makes your answers to these pop-ups transient.

      I have quite the extensive list I’ve been building over the past few years and so far my record is only 3 posts visible on the frontpage. Most of the time it’s nowhere that bad though, but I do notice that it’s putting in a lot of work.
