uBlock origin with appropriate filter turner on.

  This is what I do, it's pretty effective.

  You still have to find filter lists that work though. I use uBlock origin and frequently run into problems where cookie popups are half-blocked - the dialog is no longer visible, but I still cannot interact with or scroll the website. To work around that, I have to deactivate uBlock's cosmetic filters so that I can see the dialog again, then deny cookies. Pretty annoying, I haven't found a setup that fixes that.

    Most of the time I have JavaScript disabled as well (only for specific sites and in Private Browsing windows do I have it enabled), which will slightly confound this anecdote, but I believe it was mid-2020 when I last encountered a site that uBlock Origin plus cookie-banner-blocking lists broke the page in the way you describe, and only ever a very few times before that.

    Extension named something like Behind The Overlay fixes similar cases for me, it gets rid of anything overlaying the page blocking inputs. Exceptionally effective

  Which filter helps with this?

One of the best ones (as in actually working) is the browser addon: https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/ https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/

  That doesn't turn them off, that just consents to everything, including types of tracking that cookie blockers can't get rid of. Please use consent-o-matic instead.

    From their site: "In most cases, it just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. 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). It doesn't delete cookies." I was assuming they do a lot more hiding (which means declining) than accepting (if at all in practice). Do you have more information about this?

  Note that that is a pro-tracking extension.

Consent-o-matic can automatically reject consent and legitimate interest prompts.
