I've been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.

It's so unfortunate that Firefox on Android, for some reason, never worked well with password managers (as I understand it, it doesn't support the APIs that Android has for them). Sometimes it'll trigger the manager, more often, it won't. Infuriating and a deal breaker for me.

I'll give it another go, maybe this has been improved recently.

Edit gave it another crack, gosh, it actually works now!

Did a bit of research and found out the feature is available on Fennec F-Droid too via about:config.

Here's how to enable: https://community.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/firefox-cookie-banner-handling/

@Atemu This is why, for me, Firefox is unreplaceable on Android. Just the fact that's not Chromium + also supports extensions is what makes it superior.
I wish that it'll come pre-installed in phones instead of Chrome, so more people can give it a try. But is Android and Google would never allow that.

Been using "I still don't care about cookies", but native support would be legendary

Wait, I thought that just accepted everything? Because if you don't care about cookies, you'd be fine with anything, no? But "rejecting" cookie banners to me implies rejecting cookies which is different if I'm not mistaken.
