Deinstalled. Very sad because this this extension made my life better. Any open source (FLOSS) alternative?

Not exactly the same, but I'm happy so far with Consent-O-Matic:

> Although using dark patterns is illegal, the laws are not enforced enough, so many websites get away with it.

The problem with consent pop-ups isn't the European law; it's the failure to properly enforce it.

Definitely recommend this one. I have it switched to not consenting to anything, and I haven't seen a cookie popup since.

You can active filters in ublock origin that blocks cookie banners. I think the one I'm using is "Fanboy’s Annoyance".

Blocking cookie popups renders some pages unusable. For instance adidas. I could not scroll when blocking cookie prompt.

THIS. Which is why we don't recommend extensions on privacyguides.org besides uBO (uBlock Origin). If that ever gets bought, you'll hear about it everywhere and there will most likely be a fork.

These days for privacy with Firefox you really don't need anything else. There are a few others that may have something to offer https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions for specific purposes.

I'm not a browser extension developer -- but I wonder how long it would take for another extension that does exactly the same thing.
