## Tired of Cookie Pop-Ups? This Chrome Extension Auto-Rejects Non-Essential Trackers

Navigating the web often feels like wading through a sea of cookie consent banners. While some extensions readily accept all cookies, leaving you tracked across the internet, developer “mitch292” has launched a FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) Chrome extension aiming to provide a more privacy-conscious solution: automatically rejecting non-essential cookies.

The extension, simply named “Reject Cookies,” tackles the pervasive annoyance of cookie pop-ups directly. According to the developer, existing solutions often required chaining multiple extensions together or complex configurations within ad blockers like uBlock Origin to achieve similar results. “Reject Cookies” simplifies the process, offering a one-stop solution for rejecting those pesky trackers.

The project addresses a common user pain point: the desire for a more private browsing experience without the constant interruptions of cookie consent requests. Instead of accepting all cookies and potentially surrendering browsing data, this extension automatically clicks the “reject all” or equivalent button on those ubiquitous pop-ups. This allows users to browse with a greater degree of privacy, confident that they aren’t being tracked by non-essential cookies.

While the extension is still in its early stages of development, it offers a promising alternative to the “accept all” mentality. The developer encourages user feedback and plans to continually improve the extension’s compatibility with more websites.

If you’re looking for a simple and effective way to reclaim your online privacy and banish those intrusive cookie banners, “Reject Cookies” might be worth a try. You can find the extension on the Chrome Web Store: [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bnbodofigkfjljnopfggfoecokhmhamc?utm_source=item-share-cb](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bnbodofigkfjljnopfggfoecokhmhamc?utm_source=item-share-cb).

For those interested in contributing or examining the code, the extension is also available on GitHub: [https://github.com/mitch292/reject-cookies](https://github.com/mitch292/reject-cookies). This open-source approach fosters transparency and allows the community to help refine and improve the extension over time.
