If all you want to do is blocking cookies, why would you use a browser extension for that? Most browsers ship with a configuration option to disable them.
For Chrome/Chromium it's over at chrome://settings/cookies

- Night_Thastus 3y agoI use Privacy Badger to selectively restrict cookies. It lowers the tracking at least a bit, while it's almost never broken a site. Completely disabling cookies can break a lot.
