I'm so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?

I have tried to do this, and unless I'm missing something very obvious, this is incorrect (happy to be corrected!).

I generally tend to use hard mode with uBlock Origin, and for a while I tried to use it without NoScript, however I realised that even though I can allow/block certain domains (and I really like the toggle to disable all 3rd party domains in uBlock), I cannot fine-tune the capabilities allowed for each domain.

For example (on the "hard-mode" page for uBlock Origin on Github):

uBlock Origin

NoScript

uBlock Origin didn't let me disallow certain capabilities for this specific subdomain (which NoScript did).

Also, I have sometimes come across discrepancies in the domains that each extension displays to me. All of this considered, I'm running both. Please let me know if there is a way around it, since I would like to simplify my life with just one extension, however I do not see how the void left behind by uninstalling NoScript can be filled by uBlock.

Cheers!

Sorry, I've not played with hard mode. I did use to use uMatrix, but as that's been deprecated and I find medium mode sufficient I can't be of much help, I'm afraid. Hope you manage figure it out.
