Have you tried the "Annoyances" filters in uBlock Origin?

Thank you. When something works well you never look at its Settings/Options page again. Just took a gander and enabled. Best to your health ~

Yeah I have it enabled but don't find it super effective, do you? I just assumed it is under-developed but maybe it's just not working on my device...

I primarily use the desktop version of Firefox, though I notice very few cookie/signup banners.

> I have it enabled

There are 16 different "Annoyances" filters, but you used a singular pronoun.

Ah yep I was just referring to the group, there's an umbrella checkbox to enable the whole thing.

I also don't get much popup pain on desktop but I have always assume it's because I visit very different sites. Will be interesting to keep an eye out and see, maybe it's broken on Android.
