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?

uBlock Origin to block 3rd party JS.
NoScript to specifically allow certain functions of certain domains serving JS.
Both of these combined make sure I never see such banners because, well, no JS allowed for most things.
Also Cookie Autodelete with Firefox containers. Even if someone happened to store cookies in my browser, they are gone by the time I close the tab. Also FF containers prevent the proliferation of cookies across tabs if in different profiles.
As an aside you can ditch Noscript if you put ublock into medium mode.
I have tried to do this, and unless I’m missing something very obvious, this is incorrect (happy to be corrected!).
I generally tend to use hard mode with uBlock Origin, and for a while I tried to use it without NoScript, however I realised that even though I can allow/block certain domains (and I really like the toggle to disable all 3rd party domains in uBlock), I cannot fine-tune the capabilities allowed for each domain.
For example (on the “hard-mode” page for uBlock Origin on Github):
uBlock Origin didn’t let me disallow certain capabilities for this specific subdomain (which NoScript did).
Also, I have sometimes come across discrepancies in the domains that each extension displays to me. All of this considered, I’m running both. Please let me know if there is a way around it, since I would like to simplify my life with just one extension, however I do not see how the void left behind by uninstalling NoScript can be filled by uBlock.
Cheers!
Sorry, I’ve not played with hard mode. I did use to use uMatrix, but as that’s been deprecated and I find medium mode sufficient I can’t be of much help, I’m afraid. Hope you manage figure it out.
