I’m so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?
Ublock origin, using the “annoyences” filter list
akaik that doesn’t reject the cookies, which are accepted by default.
Not if the site is actually GDPR compliant they are not. You are only allowed to set tracking cookies after consent has been obtained, which cannot be assumed before the visitor has made a choice.
Omg, thank you so much!
Consent-o-matic automatically goes through the cookie banner and makes sure everything is disabled instead of simply blocking the banner
Strongly recommend this one. It’s also available for chromium, Safari, and iOS
Thank you, I’ll check it out
uBlock Origin to block 3rd party JS.
NoScript to specifically allow certain functions of certain domains serving JS.
Both of these combined make sure I never see such banners because, well, no JS allowed for most things.
Also Cookie Autodelete with Firefox containers. Even if someone happened to store cookies in my browser, they are gone by the time I close the tab. Also FF containers prevent the proliferation of cookies across tabs if in different profiles.
As an aside you can ditch Noscript if you put ublock into medium mode.
I have tried to do this, and unless I’m missing something very obvious, this is incorrect (happy to be corrected!).
I generally tend to use hard mode with uBlock Origin, and for a while I tried to use it without NoScript, however I realised that even though I can allow/block certain domains (and I really like the toggle to disable all 3rd party domains in uBlock), I cannot fine-tune the capabilities allowed for each domain.
For example (on the “hard-mode” page for uBlock Origin on Github):
uBlock Origin didn’t let me disallow certain capabilities for this specific subdomain (which NoScript did).
Also, I have sometimes come across discrepancies in the domains that each extension displays to me. All of this considered, I’m running both. Please let me know if there is a way around it, since I would like to simplify my life with just one extension, however I do not see how the void left behind by uninstalling NoScript can be filled by uBlock.
Cheers!
Sorry, I’ve not played with hard mode. I did use to use uMatrix, but as that’s been deprecated and I find medium mode sufficient I can’t be of much help, I’m afraid. Hope you manage figure it out.
Not an answer, but a warning: I’ve tried a couple of them and they may break some sites and I found very difficult to debug (probably because how many addons I have). If you notice weird things, try disabling the addon.
I just installed the recommmended Consent-O-Matic and it does work in the only website I remember was broken with other addons. Looks promising, thanks!
Sounds good, thank you!
You can block popups by ticking the proper filters in ublock origion filter lists
I use in Vivaldi blocker this filterlists, which can be added also in uBO, they are working fine.
I’m guessing that would also work on ublock origin on Firefox?
I think so, at least for me it works fine, never seen a cookie advice again. Try it Alternatively you can use this extension apart of uBO, in case when the site require to desactivate the adblocker.
Something I didn’t realize I needed until I read this. Thanks for the post
Remember to use Firefox containers, then you can accept all the cookies you want and they will never see outside of the container (you have to put the website in a container though)

Oh nice! Can’t wait for it to come to stable build!
Yeah, currently scheduled for Firefox 120.
Ghostery has a never consent option, so the popups show up shortly and are automatically closed. Doe not work 100% of times, but most times. For me, it’s perfectly suitable.
Thank you, I’ll check it out
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/i-dont-care-about-cookies/
One of those extensions recommended by Mozilla.
Use uBlock. Either with a list or learn to use the selector tool to remove the overlays/scripts directly. That is what I do for the GF’s PC so she can watch YT.
Edit: It looks like an eyedrop tool. So it might also be called that.
I was hoping there is one that works for all pages without needing to select them manually
Fair, but you will be surprised how often people simply revisit the same sites, over and over. You do it once, it is done for life. Also, it takes like 3-4 seconds. It is worth the investment of a few seconds. Or at least, that is what I have found.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/popupoff/
Popupoff simply removes those pop ups and since you can’t see the dialog to accept the cookies it is like not having given consent to cookies. (It sometimes makes the site not work properly, but you can set global and site specific to mitigate the issues.)
I even asked the developer here to make sure.
I also managed to install it on my android, to do this follow this guide https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extension-support-in-firefox-for-android-nightly/
Thanks! I think Firefox is getting native extension support soon,I’ll have a look into this one too
I don’t know of any extension that DENY cookies for firefox but it’s built into #duckduckgo
In the EU this means no third parties. Rest of the world its opt-out. You may not want this.
I just wanted something that will hide/reject the cookie banner so that no additional cookies are saved without me requiring to reject it manually
Yes, this is not as easy. There is “I still dont care about cookies” (the community version of the other one) or simply use the various “annoyances” blocklists for ublock origin. But you need to combine this with blocking third party cookies in the browser.
