The only thing holding me back from using that extension is

> In most cases, it just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do).

If there was a way to be assured that 99.9% of the time it hit reject all, instead of accept, I would absolutely use it.

Consent-o-Matic [0] tries to solve this. You could even allow specific sorts of cookies. It will (on most pages [1]) fill out these annoying formes based on the preferences you set.

With Temporary Containers extension it's fine that some sites set cookies, so then it doesn't matter that much how the script removes the dialog.
