- Cookie consent banners are a common frustration on the internet.
- Existing solutions include auto-accepting cookies or blocking pop-ups, but there's a need for an extension that auto-rejects non-essential cookies.
- The 'Reject Cookies' Chrome extension attempts to reject cookies first, then closes the pop-up if rejection fails.
- The extension complies with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive by treating lack of acceptance as rejection.
- Implementation involved using Cursor for setup but required manual adjustments for permissions and logic.
- The extension targets specific cookie consent vendors with tailored checks and actions.
- Users can help improve the extension by reporting missed rejections or bugs via the side panel or email.
