What we need is a community-powered Chrome extension that can identify cookie warnings on different sites and disable them.


Extensions like uBlock already use community-updated filter lists like EasyList.

I would be very perplexed if none existed that removed cookie warnings.

Edit: If you open uBlock's options and go to the Filter Lists tab, you can see that https://kb.adguard.com/en/general/adguard-ad-filters#annoyan... and Fanboy's Annoyances List are two that block some privacy popups, but you'd probably need to enable them.

There are actually quite a lot of lists on that page (click the "+" marks to expand the unchecked lists) that are opt-in rather than on by default, so it's worthwhile to give them a whirl and see if any block cookie popups.

Easylist Cookie is another one I found in uBlock filter list that specifically nukes cookie popups: https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist-cookie.t... (disable by default as well).
