U-block origin with the annoyances filters switched on?

I live in the EU and only about 1/10 sites have a banner that show up for me.

Consent-o-matic is great for the sites which still show banners despite filtering. I even have it installed on firefox for android, where it's more useful .

And it officially registers your opt-out, if you care about that sort of thing.

Installing ad & annoyance blockers is good. Another approach is to nuke "sticky" elements with a simple bookmarklet. It also removes a bunch of other useless crap from modern websites, like those lame floating headers & footers. I wrote about it here: https://www.smokingonabike.com/2024/01/20/take-back-your-web...

Cookie notices are at least easy to get rid of, there exist various adblocker filter lists specifically for that. That popup though...

I'd love to, but the dumb reputation system prevents that.
