I do not consent you cookie consent dialog

#showdev #extension #cookies #javascript

People surf hundreds of websites searching information, reading news and more every day.

But I am having a problem that getting worse my surf web experience day after day. The name of this problem is cookie consent dialog. They stop me a few minutes reading, accepting and declining permissions 😅.

I am tired of losing my time, that is why I am introducing my new browser extension made on vanilla JavaScript that remove those irritating cookie consent dialogs automatically 🤓.

Nowadays, it supports thousands of websites but the Web is huge... and there is where you can enter giving feedback of websites not supported yet to add support in the next weekly update 🙌🏼.

In short, this extension is blazing fast ⚡, extremely light (less than 200KB) 🍃, no strange permissions required 🔍 and the most important thing... it's free and open-source 😍!

Now available in Chrome Web Store, Edge Add-ons and Firefox Add-ons 🔥. You can also contribute to this project here 🧪.

Why did you choose to make a dedicated extension rather than a ruleset for an existing content blocker such as ublock?

Hi Ben 😀! There are two main reasons:

not all people use ads blockers 🤷‍♂️.
there are a lot of different implementations of cookie consent dialogs that cannot be resolved by a simply filter list or ruleset. In some cases... it is a complex problem that need to be resolved by a more specific solution like this.

Thanks for your comment and I hope you give a chance to this extension! 👍

I've been thinking about making an extension recently to do something similar, but for post types on places that don't let you configure them in your feed. Something that observes infinite-scroll mutations, checks the text content against a list of patterns and if there's a match, removes or updates the appropriate parent node.

I know that some extensions these days will work in multiple browsers (Firefox and Chrome being the main variations). Does yours do the same and if so was there anything special you had to do to get it to work?
