    Use Firefox and Ublock Origin, friend. There are specific “annoyances” filters in Ublock Origin that take care of most (but not all) cookie banners.

    Edit: turns out you need to customize your filters to get this one to stop: https://lemmy.world/comment/5775350

      Can confirm that it does not work and trying to click on the cookie settings freezes the thing halfway through. lol

          Works. Not sure how it works over the element picker tool though, which completely failed to get rid of it.

            Element picker is a little less user friendly, you pick elements and then you have to decide what to do with them. I think you have to click “create” for each element that you “pick”. Element zapper is the simpler tool, you just click things and they go away.

        Ah, you’re right, when I reset my site cache for steamdeckhq.com it comes up with that cookie window again.

        Luckily, Ublock Origin still has you covered! Click the UBO icon and click the little lightning bolt, starts “element zapper” mode. That allows you to create your own custom filters, just by clicking things on a page that you don’t like.

        I was able to remove this cookie window with the zapper. If you accidentally zap something you want to keep, you can go to UBO settings and look for it in the “My Filters” section. Each new filter is noted with a timestamp so you know which ones you created today.

            Yeah fair enough, if a website is going to be this annoying then you could argue we just shouldn’t go there.

            But I still want to spread the gospel of Ublock Origin where I can. The zapper feature can be a little finicky, depending on how a site is structured. It helps to move the mouse around and try to find a spot that covers the entire area that you want to get rid of.
