How the extension works
Functionality
Once installed, the extension automatically identifies and removes cookie consent dialogs on websites you visit. Users can easily enable or disable the extension through the extension menu, which can be located in your browser's toolbar. The extension does not alter user cookie preferences; if users do not accept cookies, they are making an informed decision not to engage with those websites.
Managing exclusions
The extension includes a feature to manage exclusions for specific websites. Users can customize which sites should be exempt from the cookie dialog removal functionality, especially useful for pages that may experience issues or have unique cookie implementations.
