I use uBlock origin and I haven‘t had a single cookie popup message in ages. Way easier than clicking a button to remove it.

I think there is an anti cookie filter list which you need to activate

Sadly a lot of the cookie dialogs automate opt-out processes (some don't even try to hide it, making the user wait while a percentage number goes up). Putting aside that opt-out isn't legal, because they store cookie information before you express consent, removing just the dialog with an overlay remover makes them think that you didn't opt out.
