I'd find the "you're going to Brazil" memes funnier if they were about the Terry Gilliam movie.
(Who needs international vacations when you have a perfectly cromulent Swedish west coast?).

Brent Guernsey, Artrocity Studio@Brentguernsey Thanks, Brent!
Thom Zane@prahou Everyone in this thread is likely interested in not seeing cookie banners to begin with. You can with uBlock Origin browser extension. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock Install the addon, click on the icon, click on the gear, go to the Filter lists tab, click on the checkbox next to all of the four cookie notices lists, click on the Apply changes button, and close the settings tab. If you do not see the confusing questions and do not give consent, you will only receive essential cookies.
nicolas ⁂@thomzane @prahou There’s https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic which is more specialised for that: it hides common cookies banners + actively “clicks” refusal buttons in the background for all cookies.
@thomzane @prahou I’m not 100% sure that ignoring (or simply hiding) the banners is enough. They use so many dark patterns that I won’t be surprised if we learn that they consider that using the website without closing the banner is a consent, or if they detext hiding the banner as closing it and using the default consent settings. An add-on that actually refuses on your behalf feels safer unfortunately. I use uBlock for everything else.
Max Lee@the_moep @thomzane @prahou It’s not compliant, but cookie banners that consider closing them as consent is a thing and an actual option in banner libraries, for instance: https://help.cookie-script.com/en/articles/30205-show-close-button – how many website owners are choosing that option and will go unnoticed?
@the_moep @thomzane @prahou … or even after scrolling: https://help.cookie-script.com/en/articles/30186-auto-accept-cookies-on-scroll ! How many webmasters will read these docs and not just activate all the options that seem good to them ? And the non-compliance is invisible to users at first sight. There should be another add-on to detect those violations!
chri�@thomzane @prahou Although ublock is generally a good choice, it is not great at selecting different rules lists per site. Without tons of hassle, it's either completely on or off.
✨So, this might be the reason why blocking cookie banners is disabled by default✨
If users more often need to disable adblock completely for a given site because functionality is jammed by the cookie handling, nothing is won.
I recommend using the feature of the browser to delete cookies on close and use another addon like Consent-O-Matic so one can handle cookie banners and ad blocking seperately.
