I've come up with an easy solution, which works almost all the time. When a cookie consent dialog interferes with me using the website, I close the tab and move on.

I've found a high correlation between cookie consent notices and low-signal content, so this strategy has actually saved me a lot of time I would've spent reading/watching something that doesn't help me.
