You can obviously block cookies locally in the browser, but what you can also do for those "consent" popups that ask you to decide which of the 1300 data brokers you want your data to be sold to is to use https://consentomatic.au.dk/ which automatically declines all of them. It works on a lot of websites, and I don't see consent popups anymore. Of course there are also adblock lists for your adblocker of choice, but they never get rid of all of it sadly. If you have an android phone then a Firefox fork with unlocked extensions will be able to install it as well (for example Fennec). Presumably also a chromium based browser with unlocked extensions, but I can't verify that. On iOS there's the Orion browser by Kagi which allows you to install extensions for both Firefox and Chrome, but again I can't speak to the actual effectiveness there.
EDIT: forgot but obviously safari also. duh.
I use Firefox with badger and ublock, and next dns which does a lot to make for a clean browsing experience, I didn't know about that extension. Installed. Thanks!
I simply do everything in private windows and accept whatever. Then flush the cookies down the toilet 5 minutes later.
Cookie AutoDelete should do this automatically.
I prefer the control of keeping the window alive until it's time to kill it, then keeping the regular browser window as what few things I allow to persist with login sessions.
