Removing cookie pop-ups with uBlock Origin

Summary

Websites that require users to accept the “We use cookies…” pop-up messages is an unfortunate side effect of the GDPR regulation. While I fully support a users control over their data and the added benefits regulations such as GDPR provide, the pop-up messages are too excessive.

The uBlock Origin EasyList Cookie filter will automatically remove these annoying pop-up messages.
