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.

The AdBlock blocklist does accept cookie banners without concenting to tracking, when possible. Check out the rules. It doesn't just zap the overlay, it executes some custom js for every site.
