An alternative to “I don't care about cookies” that never accepts

Last checked: 6 October 2026

“I don't care about cookies” is one of the best-known ways to make cookie banners go away. People often look for something else for one of two reasons: it sometimes accepts cookies for you, or it now belongs to a large company. Here is what it does, in its own words, and how Cookie Chomper is different.

In short: with Cookie Chomper, cookie banners are rejected for you instead of hidden or accepted. It's for Chrome, 14 days free, then €6 a year. Try it.

What “I don't care about cookies” does

Its Chrome Web Store page says that in most cases it “just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups”. When a site needs an answer to work properly, it “will automatically accept the cookie policy for you”: sometimes all cookies, sometimes only the necessary ones, “depending on what's easier to do”.

So with it, most banners simply disappear. A hidden banner means the site never got an answer from you. On the sites where it does answer, the answer can be yes.

What it does well

It's free, it works quietly in the background, and it promises to remove cookie warnings “from almost all websites”. On 6 October 2026 its store page showed 900,000 users and a rating of 3.8 out of 5. If all you want is to stop seeing banners, and you don't mind what the site is told, it does that job.

Who makes it now

Its original maker sold it to Avast in September 2022. Avast is now part of Gen Digital, and the store page lists “GEN Digital Inc.” as the company offering it. The version in the store was last updated on 26 June 2024.

If you're wondering whether it's safe: the concerns people raise are who owns it now, and that it can accept cookies for you.

What about “I still don't care about cookies”?

“I still don't care about cookies” is a free, open-source community copy. Its maker started it after the sale, writing: “I simply don't trust Avast with my data.” On 6 October 2026 it had 300,000 users and a rating of 4.3 out of 5, and it was last updated on 9 December 2025.

It works the same way, though. Its store page has the same sentence: when a site needs it, it “will automatically accept the cookie policy for you”. If you're leaving because of who owns it, the copy solves that. If you're leaving because it accepts, it doesn't.

What Cookie Chomper does differently

With Cookie Chomper, cookie pop-ups are rejected for you as pages load. “Reject all” is pressed. No Reject button? Then the settings are opened, everything the site doesn't need is switched off, and your choice is saved. Cookies are never accepted for you.

Hundreds of known cookie banners are recognised and rejected right on your computer. Banners made by the site 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.
