I'm so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?

akaik that doesn't reject the cookies, which are accepted by default.

Not if the site is actually GDPR compliant they are not. You are only allowed to set tracking cookies after consent has been obtained, which cannot be assumed before the visitor has made a choice.

Yeah but many still use opt out which isn't compliant

Though, if they already don't comply with legislation nothing guarantees their "essential" cookies aren't doing tracking already.
