Currently running with uBlock Origin with a lot of filter lists and Consent-o-matic, and the hidden setting to auto decline cookie dialogs but still getting popups, sticky videos and such.

Used to go with I still don't care about cookies but heard it can default to accepting more cookies than needed

I also use SponsorBlock for YouTube, which skips sponsor segments in YouTube videos (and optionally other kinds of segments like intros, self promos, etc.) it's crowd-sourced for identifying the segments but for almost all the videos I watch someone has already marked at least the sponsor segments

I'm on istilldontcareaboutcookies and cookie autodelete. Who cares if they save cookies for the session?

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

I'd prefer to still have only the necessary and useful cookies retained.

Yes same setup here. The annoying popups are worse for me than cookies being saved just for one session.

Kill Sticky to "Kill off the annoying floating things blocking the website you're trying to see."

Notes:

In some pages it removes too much and it breaks the page.
It's not automatic, you need to click it manually. Because the previous point, it wouldn't be practical to always execute it.

I also go to Settings > site permissions (or the equivalent) and block requests from sites
