Hi @oblador, thanks you for such a great product — hush!

Problem

According to the following issues — it seems there no strait forward way to handle Google's cookie banner as other banners w/o broking website:

Suggested Solution

What if:

  1. Find the "Reject All" button by XPath (IDs, classes might be dynamic, but the following XPath should remain constant):
image
  1. Click this button with code like:
document.getElementById('{button-id-found-by-xpath}').click();

@oblador, what do you think — might this work?

Hi, this won't work while also being 100% private as this extension aims to be. Any extension that does this could in theory track your browsing and obtain CC details etc, and would also by definition be slower. I know the tradeoffs, but for me personally I this is one of the main selling points, and there are a bunch of other alternatives that do the opposite for those that prioritise differently. Hope you understand! 👍

Hi Joel,

I do understand and appreciate your response with such detail and the reasoning behind it 🙌

Best regards,
