Cookie ChomperCookie banner extensions compared
Last checked: 6 October 2026
Many Chrome extensions make cookie banners go away, and most of them are free. They don't all do the same thing with the banner, though. Some reject, some hide it, and some may accept for you. Here they are side by side, described in their own words where possible.
| Extension | What happens to the banner | Price | Made by | Users on 6 Oct 2026 | Last updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cookie Chomper ours | Rejected, or everything optional switched off and saved. Never accepted for you. | 14 days free, then €6 a year | Invisible Shapes, the Netherlands | New | 5 Oct 2026 |
| Consent-O-Matic | Filled in with the choices you set, so it may accept what you allow; where a site's choices are unclear, the most private option. | Free, open source | CAVI, Aarhus University | 200,000 | 3 Oct 2024 |
| Ghostery Never-Consent, part of its ad blocker | Rejected on the sites it supports. On others, trackers are blocked. | Free | Ghostery | 2,000,000 | 3 Oct 2026 |
| superagent | Filled in with the choices you set, so it may accept what you allow. | Free for 40 pop-ups a week, then paid see below | Super Agent Inc. | 50,000 | 4 Oct 2026 |

| I still don't care about cookies | The same as above, by its own description. | Free, open source | A community project | 300,000 | 9 Dec 2025 |
| uBlock Origin Lite an ad blocker | Cookie notices filtered out, once you switch its cookie-notice list on. | Free | Raymond Hill | 21,000,000 | 30 Sep 2026 |
User numbers and update dates are what each extension's Chrome Web Store page showed on 6 October 2026. A store update date doesn't show updates to an extension's list of known banners, which some extensions download separately.
Free and good: Consent-O-Matic and Ghostery
Consent-O-Matic is made by researchers at Aarhus University. It's free and open source, and it fills in the common banners with the choices you set once. If it misses a banner, you can report the site from the extension so its makers can add it.
Ghostery's free ad blocker includes Never-Consent, switched on from the start. Ghostery says it rejects the cookie pop-ups from the makers most websites use, and that on sites it doesn't recognise yet, it still blocks the trackers behind the banner.
If these cover the sites you visit, use them. They cost nothing.
Where Cookie Chomper is different
Known banners are recognised and rejected right on your computer, as with the free tools. Other banners, the ones a site made itself, are read to find their Reject button, even when it's tucked away behind “Settings”. For that, a limited part of the banner's words goes to our server. Never the web address, your cookies or what you type into forms.
We let it visit 10,312 websites across Europe. Leave out the banners that offered no way to reject, and about 9 in 10 were rejected. Of the rejected banners, 7 in 10 were recognised straight away, on your computer. The rest were read first. Version 0.1.2, tested 1 October 2026. We haven't tested the other extensions the same way, so this is not a side-by-side score.
It's for Chrome only, and paid for by the people who use it: no ads, nothing sold. Sites that make you choose between accepting and paying are left to you.
superagent
superagent's store page says it “will automatically consent to your preferences”. You choose once what you allow, and that is given on every banner it supports. So it rejects what you switched off, and may accept what you allowed. It's free for the first 40 pop-ups a week. After that, its listing gives the prices as 1.19 a month, 11.99 a year or 29.99 for life, each written “$€”.
The ones that hide
“I don't care about cookies” and its community copy, “I still don't care about cookies”, say they mostly block or hide banners, and accept them when a site needs it to work. uBlock Origin Lite has a cookie-notice list (“EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices”) that's off until you switch it on in its settings.
