A Chrome extension that will auto-reject non-essential cookies

A FOSS chrome extension that attempts to remove the annoyance of cookie pop ups and banners. There are some extensions out there that auto-accept cookies, but I didn't find one that auto rejected cookies without either chaining some extensions together or setting up custom rules in tools like uBlock origin. So with this extension, you just need to add it for non-essential cookies to be rejected.

In plain words

This open-source Chrome extension automatically rejects non-essential cookies on websites, eliminating the need to manually dismiss cookie banners and pop-ups. Unlike existing extensions that auto-accept cookies, this tool focuses specifically on rejection without requiring additional tools or custom rule setup. It is designed for users who want a streamlined browsing experience with minimal cookie tracking. The extension is in early development and welcomes user feedback for ongoing improvements across different websites.

Add the extension A Chrome Extension Everyone can agree that cookie consent banners are frustrating. It might be one of the few unifying factors on the internet today. Even though it’s a couple clicks, the couple clicks are a pain, and the couple clicks can happen on many sites each day. There are browser extensions out there that will auto-accept cookies like I don’t care about cookies and it’s o

So the omission of an acceptance should be on par with an explicit rejection. If you’re interested in how it works the code is open source and on github , but let’s step through it at a high level. Vibe coding is the answer. I leveraged Cursor and let it auto-select the model. This combination while extremely useful, did not serve me as well as recent past experience. On the project setup front, I had not previously written a Chrome extension. Having the Cursor agent set up the boilerplate was convenient. Although, it requested too liberal of permissions in the permissions to start and wouldn’t go and update them as the design of the app changed. Below is a snippet of the…from blog.bymitch.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
