Small LLMs could be useful in-browser for automating actions - e.g. reject all cookie/tracking popups. Consent-o-matic only works for half the sites I encounter and doesn’t support mobile
Yeah, no. LLMs are known untrustworthy so need a validation step so they aren’t a great fit for any automation you don’t look at… unless you don’t really care about the outcome
What would work here is a browser API for cookie settings. You set your preferences with the browser and the sites check the browser. I don’t think this is likely to happen because people with influence and money in tech wouldn’t be able to point to how annoying the modals are and say “Look X government is doing something we don’t like so you should be angry and not trust them”

Security however is another rabbit hole
Consent-o-matic does too support Firefox mobile! What makes you think it doesn’t?
The mobile sites I visit don’t have the cookie banners auto dismissed
Curious. There are certain ones it doesn’t work on, both on desktop and mobile, but works as normal other than that. Maybe check your settings?

LLMs are useful for summarization. That is it.
How often are you needing a summary of the thing that you’re browsing at the moment?
