If I only allow “essential” trackers, it will ask me to enable targeted tracking every time I open the app… Not really a choice if it’s forced.

      While I don’t begrudge another blocker, I do wonder why you wouldn’t want to use ublock origjn.

        uBlock Origin blocks ads, it generally doesn’t block cookie popups (and if it does, only on the initial load). This will nuke any overlay that appears during, or after the page loads. So cookie popups, newsletter subscription begging, all that shit goes away, even the ones that wait until you start scrolling.

        So, consent-o-matic isn’t supposed to block this. It’s supposed to reject the shit automatically whenever it pops up to save you time and frustration. Sorry if my previous comment wasn’t very clear about the difference here.
