“ I want a plugin that automatically says "OK" to cookie banners.”

Try “I don’t care about cookies” :)

Is this extension trustworthy? It is "recommended" and says GPL3 but there is no link to the source code anywhere.
The author doesn't publish the extension sources. https://reddit.com/comments/bru6wd/comment/eohtox3
Their argument is that the extension as it's distributed is essentially a zip file containing the source code.
I don't think that's quite in compliance with GPL3, but I'm not a lawyer. The bundled release artifact doesn't allow someone to build the extension, and I think GPL3 takes that into account. If I have a Java program, I have the bytecode, and unless it's been run through and obfuscator, I can pretty easily recreate the Java code. But the GPL3 doesn't count that as compliant.
Thanks - I'm looking into that.
A much better option is Consent-o-Matic, which will reject cookies for you automatically.
