Small LLMs could be useful in-browser for automating actions - e.g. reject all cookie/tracking popups. Consent-o-matic only works for half the sites I encounter and doesn't support mobile

Security however is another rabbit hole

    Consent-o-matic does too support Firefox mobile! What makes you think it doesn't?

    Yeah, no. LLMs are known untrustworthy so need a validation step so they aren't a great fit for any automation you don't look at... unless you don't really care about the outcome

    What would work here is a browser API for cookie settings. You set your preferences with the browser and the sites check the browser. I don't think this is likely to happen because people with influence and money in tech wouldn't be able to point to how annoying the modals are and say "Look X government is doing something we don't like so you should be angry and not trust them"

    You could tey Super Agent on firefox. Though they only have 40 free pop ups before paying either subscription or one time pay.

    It worked really well for me and I didn't realize it was doing its thing until I quickly reached the 40 pop up limit.
