What Hacker News says

4 sources
I'd rather use an extension that tells companies no, that exercises the legal right to say no. Dont just accept then delete (with likely other downstream consequences such as re-logging in when you dont want), just opt out. Make it clear that privacy matters. Dont just hack (with multiple extensions), vote. Use a moral & good & fit to task (not apathetic & consenting extension) like Consent-o-matic[1] or Auto Cookie Optout[2]. Some people actively dont care. Dont do that. Care. Help. Be a positive influence. (Ed: wow, unpopular opinion, over something that costs people nothing to assist in!! -2 points!

In Fork of the popular “I don't care about cookies” extension
Consent-o-mattic and Auto Cookie Optout are both pretty good. They also let you block rather tham accept all cookies. Wild to me that the accept all cookies extension has been the winning one, but they have a cute name. You should care though, caring is cool & good, & you should care about privacy online & reducing the vast capitalist-survelliance machinery. It's easy, just use a non apathetic extension instead of one whose whole premise has been apathy. (I hear uBlock Origin has an anti-annoyance filter or filters that does something to deal with cookie banners but unsure what.) https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic https://github.com/CodyMcCodington/AutoCookieOptout
