This looks really promising. Not available on mobile though, but I will test on my desktop.
There is a way to enable arbitrary add-ons to work on Firefox for Android, but you have to do a few extra steps: register a Firefox account, create a collection of extensions, then add that collection to your phone. I can tell you that Conset-o-Matic definitely works if you take this route.
Sweet!
It's available in Iceraven.
It works on my android Firefox nightly. 🤷♂️

ublock origin has inbuilt filters you can turn on for cookie popups that work for almost every site I've been to I almost never see them anymore ublock origin is just all around great
I think they're called "annoyances" filters
It's sad to see companies' malicious compliance working. They make it tedious so users get exasperated with it and just accept it.
Well to be honest, even if each and every website wouldnt use dar patterns and there is a clear choice to refuse with one click, it would still be obnoxious to decline everytime you visit a site.
"Required cookies" is already a category, under which a cookie could be placed to remember your choice. But that would be counter to their interests.
I set my browser to block all 3rd party cookies and then just click accept
I've been using this addon for some time, but I think the best way to get all of yours would be to use uBlock lists and then whitelist sites as needed when things break

Thanks for the answer. If I remember correctly, this plugin works by accepting all cookies in the background. Is this correct?
If so, do you also have some kind of cookie cleanup policy/plugin? Or do you really dont care about cookies?
I think it does auto accept.
I don't really have anything specific for cookies, just doing the basics with uBlock + Firefox + Firefox containers. I do keep my facebook/instagram/other problem-logins in separate containers, but that's about it. I saved this thread in case someone else has other suggestions :)
