But even though things are better, you'll still occasionally run across a site like the one above that hasn't caught up to the new user experience best practices for advertising.

Generally, sites have stopped doing things like cramming ads into every open space on the page and using pop-ups and pop-unders. Online ads aren't as much of a nuisance as they used to be. It got rid of the cookie notifications on all 10 sites.Īnd if you do find a cookie notification that slips past the blocker, you can report it by clicking Report a cookie warning in the extension's options menu. To find out how well it works, I tested it on 10 different websites, each using varying types of cookie notification displays: I don't care about cookies is a free (with donations accepted) Chrome extension that claims to remove cookie notifications from almost all websites. If you're tired of clicking accept buttons and close icons to get cookie notifications out of the way of the content you're trying to consume, use the I don't care about cookies Chrome extension to banish them for good. Other than that, the extension is pretty good at what it does.Since the European Union started enforcing GDPR in mid-2018, nearly every website you visit now covers a part of the content you're trying to read with a notification about the use of cookies on the site. This may not be a problem if you don’t mind lack of configuration options but can be a bit annoying if you ever need to allow autoplay on certain sites. To disable the extension, you have to manually go to the extensions page and disable it from there. As you can guess, the lack of any options means you cannot add exceptions or you can’t even temporarily disable the extension.

It just sits in the top corner of your screen and does the job as it should. The extension offers no options whatsoever. When a video is blocked from autoplay, the extension displays a striking black text in capital letters on red background letting you know the same and telling you what to do in order to play the video. It just automatically blocks any video that starts to automatically play no matter whether the tab is in focus or not. While AutoplayStopper blocks video autoplay and gives you an option to add exceptions and user scripts, Video Autoplay Blocker is much simpler in what it does.
