I have it, and it does help, but it seems more often than not I still get a pop up for cookies.
Comment on What does it mean to ‘accept’ or ‘reject’ all cookies, and which should I choose?

You can report websites that it failed to act upon in the extension window

That’s unnecessary. Not clicking anything is legally identical to opting out. So just install uBO and add the cookie list filter and block those annoying banners entirely.

You’re not wrong, but in my experience those lists cause some sites to not work anymore, the whole site will stay dark waiting for the cookie pop-up for example, or you can’t scroll. I still use uBO to block ads but Consent-O-Matic gives me a better experience on those sites.

Did you try to dismiss then manually or use the filter list?

Disabling uBO, dismissing the cookie pop-up and then re-enabling uBO usually works, but is a lot more work than just running Consent-O-Matic in the background.
