Pff, typical that people try to shoehorn AI where it doesn't belong!

Install Ublock Origin, then activate the "Annoyances" lists under the "Filter lists" and you'll get rid of them, and many other annoyances.

I think it makes sense.

A blocklist will never block every script and snippet. AI, on the other hand, should be pretty efficient at detecting prompts to automate its removal.

Yeah, it probably won't, but collaboratively, we can block a lot :) Also, naive uBlock method will probably be more efficient in terms of resource usage for some time forward.

In this case, I never saw any cookie banners and it seemed to have blocked what I wanted to have blocked automatically. Here is the log: https://i.imgur.com/rteXlAC.png

I actually have ublock installed, just never realised there was an annoyances list, so thanks for that.
