Just uBlock origin gives us the ability to add custom filters. Orion too should do that. Even Brave browser for IOS has implemented it.

Picture for reference(Brave)

      Orion does not seem to block cookie pop-ups. (iOS 16.2)
      Example: https://www.ansa.it/
      In my opinion, either you could try to make this extension work: https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies or you should be able to include these lists in Orion's built-in adblock (that are used on uBlock Origin): EasyList Cookie and https://adguard.com/en/blog/new-annoyance-filters.html

      Btw, I can't install the extensions from the Chrome webstore... no button appears on it.

      So I see that Orion's built-in adblock use Easylist Privacy along with some other lists.
      Maybe my idea could work? Does anyone have any other ideas? How do you get around pop-up cookies on iPhone?

              Steps to reproduce:

              • Install "I don't care about cookies" extension

              Expected behavior:

              • If you visit websites like google.com or youtube.com, the extension should automatically remove the "Accept cookie" banners, but it doesn't do anything.

              Orion, OS version; hardware type:
              Version 0.99.122-beta (WebKit 615.1.11.7)
              MacBook Pro (macOS Ventura 13.1 build 22C65)

                @gp what are some of the cookies extensions you tested working?

                  Brrrrrra This extension ironically is sold to a tracking company. Threre's "I still don't care about cookies" that is being what "I don't care about cookies" once used to be.

                    Interesting, I didn't know about "I still don't care about cookies". I've tried it as well, and it seems like it still doesn't work?

                      These extensions for blocking cookies pop-up don't work. I've tried so many of them! As I've said, the only solution in my opinion is to add the following list in Orion's adblock: EasyList Cookie List.

                          Both of these seem to work. The former has the performance issues we discussed and made a separate bug tracker for.

                          Firefox are also working on something that may be useful or of interest - https://github.com/mozilla/cookie-banner-rules-list

                          Brave seems to be using the easy-cookie list.

                            Any update on when this will ship @Vlad ? Orion blocks cookie consent dialogs by default so having the ability to customise filter lists would prevent that behaviour (I know this has been discussed before).
