Oh the hilarious irony. Can anyone recommend an up to date Firefox addon that gets rid of these fucking popups, automatically declining all but necessary? I’ve looked at a few but I remember folks here recommending some that I can’t now for the life if me remember what they were. Thanks!

And please, if you use consent-o-matic, report the pages it doesn’t work on. It’s very easy to do and results in shit getting fixed.
This is the best way. If the cookie popup isn’t blocked, go in ublock settings and enable the adguard annoyances lists
If it’s still not blocked do it yourself with the element picker (not zapper), takes a second

Yes, but preferably go over the list of enabled filterlists in it’s settings and tick a few more boxes.
I use I still don’t care about cookies, which blocks the banners; and NoScript, which blocks JavaScript and other crap that would bring up the popup in the first place.
I may stop using IDCAC, however, as some other comments have shown me that I can just use an annoyances blocklist in uBO instead. The fewer extensions I have, the less fingerprintable I am, or so I’m told.
Also “I still don’t care about cookies” will automatically accept cookies It can’t reject.
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).
Better use uBO and if It can’t block the cookie banner for some reason, that site is not worth your time and effort !
I wasn’t aware of this. Thanks for the tip!
If you try to use a pihole? Or a DNS that block your wanted domains?

Great extension.
Cookies banners is only a thing because the website operators are such pigs with your data.
For me, this is what works best now:
LibreWolf with:
-
uBlock Origin
-
CanvasBlocker
-
raindrop.io — not as an extension but a pinned tab, mostly for convenience to keep my saved websites and articles in one place, if anyone knows anything better, or more useful, or open source, let me know
That’s good. I prefer using the ol’ Firefox hardened.

I still don’t care about cookies (not to be confused with i don’t care about cookies, that one got sold to some company and the “still” one is a community fork from before the sale)
