I would love to find extensions that make me think "How did I live without this?"

Isn’t there a filter set for this in uBlock already? Annoyances filter?

I believe it unlock just hides them and not very well.

This will actively opt out of everything for you.

i tought they needed to be opted in for the tracking to be allowed to work?

Doesn't the third party cookie blocking already do this?

[-] lorkano@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

They block collection but popups are still here and you have to press them on every page you go to

Ublock with the annoyances filters enabled hides most of them perfectly, and if the website uses some obscure toolkit/creates its own banner you can always remove it using the content selector

Hence, there is no need for the the extension mentioned in the parent comment
