What does this do that ublock origin doesn't? The FAQ explains the difference is that this extension makes 'clearer' your opposition to being tracked.

I see there is a premium version planned but no indication of what additional features it might support.

uBlock is able to block cookie banners. But he is not able to reject cookie uses. And we (Ninja Cookie) are thinking you have to say you don't want to be tracked.

We like to take the example of democracy and elections as a way of explaining our stance: many people complain that their opinion is never heard, or even that their voice cannot change the final outcome. But how can anyone expect an opinion to be heard, and taken into account, if it is not stated?

Disable cookies by default, uMatrix

    * * cookie block
And purge LocalStorage, SessionStorage, DatabaseStorage, CacheStorage if JavaScript allowed.
I've never seen uBlock Origin block the cookie and GDPR consent popups though.
You have to turn it on. In the options, there are several "Annoyances" blocklists (AdGuard Annoyances, Fanboy's Annoyances, uBlock Annoyances) that do this. Turn them all on for best results.
Ohh... thanks!
I believe you have to enable the list to block this in the settings
