Hop into your uBlock Origin settings and enable the Cookie Banner filters. Fixed. Enable the Annoyances filters too, while you're in there.

If you're on iOS, the Kill Sticky bookmarklet does a decent job of cleaning these up without breaking most sites: https://www.smokingonabike.com/2024/01/20/take-back-your-web...

content-based adblocking requires tremendous resources, and no longer works in Chrome, which is the primary browser.

So use Firefox.

tell that to the billion internet users who suffer from cookie banners. I'm talking about the network effect.

I'd think anyone capable of installing an adblocker in Chrome would be able to install Firefox + an adblocker.

Obviously it would be better if adblocking wasn't required in the first place.

I do tell them that. I can't help everyone, but I can help some.
