Careful what you wish for - it can, and probably will get worst. I still get cookie rage every time I have to deal with cookie popups.
To put things in perspective, i recommend trying to run with a pihole plugged in your network. Even just for a week or two. The difference is so stark it emphasises how shit things are right now.
- 5e92cb50239222b 5y agoJust a friendly reminder to anyone reading this — the "annoyances" lists you can enable in uBlock Origin get rid of basically all cookie popups. I haven't seen one in a couple of years.
- marcusklaas 5y agoDid not know this, just enabled all of them. Thank you!
- i67vw3 5y agoThere is also an extension on chrome and firefox store named 'I don't care about cookies' which is specifically made for this issue.

- huqedato 5y agoI had a mixed experience with this extension: very effective but it breaks many sites - initially I didn't understand why, it took me some time to identify the culprit.
- Sander_Marechal 5y agoJust a note that sometimes this blocks the popup but not the background overlay that goes along with the popup. This makes interacting or even scrolling with the site impossible. It only happens occasionally and it's nothing a quick "zap element" in ublock doesn't fix. But it can be surprising.
