Just so you know, "I don't care about cookies" was sold to Avast last year:

There is a fork called "I still don't care about cookies" which is probably worth switching to unless you trust Avast:

Random aside: this extension had absolutely the worst internals of any I've ever looked at. Love the functionality, but really wish I'd never seen the spaghetti behind the illusion (source files below). It feels like approaching it as a text classification problem might produce a clean general solution

From https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies a spinoff since the original extension got bought out:

> In most cases, the add-on just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do). It doesn't delete cookies.
