I did not know that I already had the tool in my hands.
uBlock Origin is the best ad blocker imaginable.
But it can do something I always wanted: Get rid of cookie popups (but without acception them automatically).
Visiting a new website and being able to read the content directly feels so weird, although it should be normal.
I hope, EU legislation will force websites to accept a global "Auto-decline"/"Minimum-possible" configurable in the web browser, in which case no banner can be shown. IMO, that's how it should have always been.
There is also "consent o matic", banner does appear but go away in less than a second and auto decline as possible. Does not work on 100% of website but still does a good job.
And Ghostery, works well for me.

I don't like consent'o'matic it plays a slow anination and takes nearly a full second
Just disable the animation?
Thanks
