This extension just hides the banner without actually doing anything else. Do I understand that correctly? It's more suitable when your browser automatically deletes your cookies after a session.

For Regular users I would go with something like Ninja Cookie which not only hides the cookie banner but also rejects the cookies.

My understanding is that it automatically clicks on "agreed." It does not hide the banner or block it, it just clicks on "okay" for you. So it does not pop up and disrupt your web surfing flow. Personally, I use uBlock to not have to deal with them at all.

Didn't know uBlock had a filter list for cookies. Is it the EasyList Cookie?

Cool beans, thanks for sharing - had no idea Avast was in the picture.
