I would also recommend consent-o-matic. It works really well, and has a really simple interface for letting the devs know when it doesn't work.

This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.
Nice!
Ublock origin, using the "annoyences" filter list
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.
Use it with auto cookie delete
Ghostery has a never consent option, so the popups show up shortly and are automatically closed. Doe not work 100% of times, but most times. For me, it's perfectly suitable.
In the EU this means no third parties. Rest of the world its opt-out. You may not want this.
I just wanted something that will hide/reject the cookie banner so that no additional cookies are saved without me requiring to reject it manually
Yes, this is not as easy. There is "I still dont care about cookies" (the community version of the other one) or simply use the various "annoyances" blocklists for ublock origin. But you need to combine this with blocking third party cookies in the browser.
