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
Configure uBlock Origin in medium mode and set Firefox to delete cookies on quitting. Easy.
I feel like I would get a ton more captchas if I delete cookies every time. I mostly just use uBlock Origin.

Open the Application Menu (the three lines next to the puzzle piece) > Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies & Site Data > Click the Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed box > Done
Thanks! I wrote that when on mobile, so I didn’t think to add instructions 😅. Also, if the user needs to allow some cookies, they can be set at Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies & Site Data > Manage Exceptions.
Pretty sure I get more cookie banners because my cookies auto delete
Is to prevent that that you configure UBO in medium mode. Since many cookie banners are loaded by a 3rd party script, they’re blocked by UBO when configured this way. For the rest I use one of the “Annoyances” filter that come preinstalled. Since the time I adopted this method (~3 years) I think I can count the number of cookie banners I’ve seen with the fingers of one hand.
