The reality is that very few websites actually let you choose whether to accept tracking cookies or not. For the most part, they set the cookies immediately, even before the disclosure banner appears. Most of them don't even include the option to opt out. It doesn't matter that this is against both the spirit and the letter of the GDPR. Those banners are just an annoying bit of compliance theater.
Given that I'm getting the cookies whether I want them or not, and deleting them whenever my browser closes, if this extension keeps the banners off my screen it's a huge net positive from my perspective.
