I'm part of the team working on consent-o-matic at Aarhus University, and it's great to see the project getting some attention here. We've been running the project on a bit of a shoestring budget, but we are currently working on improving detection and adding more CMPs. We are also testing the plugin for Safari on both MacOS and iOS, and hopefully have it released soon. I can attest that it is very nice to have on the phone, and it makes me very happy every time I see my phone autofill a pop-up :-)

Since creating rules is one of the more time consuming parts of maintaining the project, we are happy for any help we can get through pull requests to the rule lists.

What does it actually do? Does it automatically "accept everything"? Or reject everything? Or just supress the consent forms?
You can configure what categories of tracking you will allow, and then there's custom rules for a wide range of CMPs to apply those preferences automatically.
