How it’s implemented: Vibe coding is the answer Sorry, you want me to give browser privileges to code written by AI?

You should stick with extensions that have lots of stars, that way you know they're trustworthy and secure.

While I agree with you 200%, the code is there for you to review. I skimmed it and it didn’t seem difficult to grok, keep in mind I speak almost no JavaScript or typescript.

uBlock Origin already has this. Enable the "Cookie notices" and "Annoyances" filters in uBlock Origin's settings. Bonus pro-tip: Firefox for Android supports uBlock Origin, which means you can get rid of these godawful banners on mobile, too. Only iOS users are stuck having to put up with them.

How do I keep chrome from uninstalling ublock these days every time I restart?

for iOS users, you can just install eg AdGuard as iOS safari extension/blocker extension and enable the uBlock filter lists :) Fully working ad blocker for mobile safari.

I noticed you deleted the privacy policy in Github, and link to this one instead https://privacy.reject-cookies.bymitch.com/

The one you link to doesn't really make sense:

> Data is collected on specific sites that the product is not working on. This data is sent explicitly by users and when it is collected we do not collect any information that could be tied to a specific user. Only the name of the site is collected and any additional information you include in the text of the report.

The original one that was deleted from the Github repo [0] is much simpler and to the point.
