“In most cases, the add-on 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). It doesn’t delete cookies.”
Comment on Thank the EU there’s a prominent “Reject” button nowadays

Better to use Consent-o-Matic, which automatically rejects all unnecessary cookies.

Hiding the popup should be the same as clicking reject, assuming the website is legal

I’ve been using susperagent on Firefox but wasn’t sure about its security, I’m new to the Firefox world.

Interesting extension. I think I’ll give it a try.
It is entirely open source, and the website does a very good job explaining what it does and why.

The best thing about that tool is that it doesn’t necessarily reject all unnecessary cookies. You can tell it your preferences, i.e. “I’m okay with basic analytics but not with ad cookies”. That’s probably the biggest feature of this addon, although I imagine most people who install the addon will want to disable everything.
