Oh the hilarious irony. Can anyone recommend an up to date Firefox addon that gets rid of these fucking popups, automatically declining all but necessary? I’ve looked at a few but I remember folks here recommending some that I can’t now for the life if me remember what they were. Thanks!
I use I still don’t care about cookies, which blocks the banners; and NoScript, which blocks JavaScript and other crap that would bring up the popup in the first place.
I may stop using IDCAC, however, as some other comments have shown me that I can just use an annoyances blocklist in uBO instead. The fewer extensions I have, the less fingerprintable I am, or so I’m told.
The popular ones, yes, but most of what I’m looking for would still work in Dillo, though it would look a little janky in that particular browser.
For everything else, I selectively unblock certain domains. If I trust the site, I make this persistent. If I don’t, this is temporary and Librewolf clears any cookies, settings, caches, or tokens that the site may have given me when I close the window.
Also “I still don’t care about cookies” will automatically accept cookies It can’t reject.
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).
Better use uBO and if It can’t block the cookie banner for some reason, that site is not worth your time and effort !

Doesn’t blocking JavaScript brakes most websites nowadays?

Thanks!
If you try to use a pihole? Or a DNS that block your wanted domains?
