oportunitytortoise Unfortunately, there is a migration away from that extention as Avast bought it... One problem with extensions is the privacy/security hole that opens up when the dev sells to a more nefarious outlet. Good reason to argue for rich core features in Orion in areas where this is the most egregious.

There is also:

I'd love to see a decent implementation of this in Orion, but I'd say it is non-trivial and would need some research/careful thought.

      phy Let us know which extension works the best and we will consider implementing it natively.

          Consent-O-Matic does work but for some reason it reloads/refreshes Google and/or Youtube a couple of times before it kicks in

          Consent Popup Blocker somehow blocks the consent popus without the reloads

          Also, Version 0.99.123.1-beta (WebKit 615.1.16.1) seems to crash when I enable one or the other. I can't remember previous versions of Orion doing that. Will investigate...

            Vlad I don't care about cookies - Chrome Web Store was the best one I have used but I (and others) abandonned it because I dont like that the dev sold it to Avast.

            Consent-O-Matic is good but a bit slow with page flopping as it steps through screens. I am trying Super Agent - Automatic cookie consent - Chrome Web Store atm but it doesn't seem to dismiss Google's annoying consent form if you are flushing their cookies.

            EDIT: I just found I still don't care about cookies - Chrome Web Store, which is "Community version of the extension I don't care about cookies (no Avast)". So far it is working great; just like the original and blicks Googles consent popup that most others don't (although I'm windering if this might be a problem with Orion).

                Why can't Orion have an option to enable something like the Fanboy's annoyances list? It's a uBlock list that helps manage cookie consent popups. Just have it as a toggle by content blocking that says "supress cookie consent popups"

                joystmp We will allow for custom block list as a part of antoher feature suggestion. For now we have included consent-o-matic into popular extensions (which from what I understand is a much more powerful version of a cookie blocklist)
