    having too many filters slows down pages significantly, you should keep only those you actually need

  In the filter lists, there are three lists named annoyances. Just enable one of them, and these banners will be gone.

    Aah, you are right. Lazy me actually never looked at those. Now I did and it seems to work just fine enabling the Annoyances > Cookie Banners.

      2nd panel means you have to do it again and again for every new website you visit, or if you clear cookies regularly. Using the ublock addon, you have to enable this setting once, and it is persistent across sessions.

  Also getting rid of cookie banners doesn’t mean the site won’t track with third party cookies. The cookies are ON by default and until you tell them to turn it OFF, they keep the cookies on.

    That’s a good point. However in the EU it should be the opposite - otherwise the site is violating GDPR.

    Sometimes I have a feeling sites do whatever they want anyway regardless of bow many dark patterns I click through to find the “no” and “off” buttons because there are no real repercussions. Just like the “do not track” request and “robots.txt” are essentially useless.

      Damn then that’s great for EU users. You can really see how scummy these companies are on how they treat GDPR and non-GDPR countries.
