ConsentCut

ConsentCut is a desktop browser extension (Chrome/Edge/Firefox) that targets the most annoying part of modern browsing: consent and privacy popups that block content, shift layouts, and waste time. Instead of trying to block every ad, it focuses on reliably removing cookie banners, GDPR/CCPA modals, newsletter overlays, and “accept to continue” interstitials while preserving site functionality. It uses a lightweight rules engine plus optional AI-assisted detection for new or obfuscated banners, learning from user feedback (“this broke the page” / “this worked”). The MVP ships with curated, human-reviewed rules for top sites and a safe-mode that falls back to “hide only” rather than deleting DOM elements. It also includes per-site controls and a transparency panel showing what was removed and why. Realistically, it won’t beat full ad blockers on ads; it wins by being less disruptive and more dependable on popups.
