Configure uBlock Origin in medium mode and set Firefox to delete cookies on quitting. Easy.

Open the Application Menu (the three lines next to the puzzle piece) > Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies & Site Data > Click the Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed box > Done
Thanks! I wrote that when on mobile, so I didn't think to add instructions 😅. Also, if the user needs to allow some cookies, they can be set at Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies & Site Data > Manage Exceptions.
I feel like I would get a ton more captchas if I delete cookies every time. I mostly just use uBlock Origin.
Pretty sure I get more cookie banners because my cookies auto delete
Is to prevent that that you configure UBO in medium mode. Since many cookie banners are loaded by a 3rd party script, they're blocked by UBO when configured this way. For the rest I use one of the "Annoyances" filter that come preinstalled. Since the time I adopted this method (~3 years) I think I can count the number of cookie banners I've seen with the fingers of one hand.
