I'm so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?

Popupoff simply removes those pop ups and since you can't see the dialog to accept the cookies it is like not having given consent to cookies. (It sometimes makes the site not work properly, but you can set global and site specific to mitigate the issues.)

I even asked the developer here to make sure.

I also managed to install it on my android, to do this follow this guide https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extension-support-in-firefox-for-android-nightly/

In the EU this means no third parties. Rest of the world its opt-out. You may not want this.

I don't know of any extension that DENY cookies for firefox but it's built into #duckduckgo

You can change your settings within firefox to dump all cookies on exit.

Not exactly what I'm after, but thanks for the reply anyway

Allowing cookies enables sites to gather information about you. If you delete cookies, they still got this information. Especially as there are ad tracking providers tra tracking you by mail and so on

Why don't you just clear them?
