        60 percent of the time, it works, all the time.

        Seriously, it works in most cases, so it’ll still improve the situation from having to go through the prompts on all sites to going through them on some sites.

      I find Consent-O-Matic bad tbh. It sometines works sometimes not. Something like “I don’t care about cookies” is better and usually works.

        The problem with that one in particular is that it accepts, insinuated or otherwise, the default, which is “yes I accept all cookies.”

          Are you sure? I was sure that it declines every option that it can and if not, then just hide it. Because whenever I disable the extension, I see the cookie popup just again.

            In most cases, it just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it’s needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what’s easier to do). It doesn’t delete cookies.

            So it’s a mixed bag on what it will do. Personally I’d rather be annoyed by the pop than not know what it’s doing.
