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?

Does noscript blocks unnecessary JavaScript automatically, or do we need to manually add rules?
NoScript blocks (almost) everything by default. You can then allow, temporarily allow, or selectively allow specific types of capabilities that JS from a domain can run, on either every page or on the specific FQDN. Or you can explicitly block the script(s).
The reason I said almost in the first line is because you can customise the default behaviour of NoScript to allow/disallow certain capabilities to scripts you haven’t provided custom permissions/encountered before.
This is very interesting, I will try right away.
Edit: Tried it, and it broke almost every site I use. Even lemmy didn’t work. It doesn’t look like it can be used without manual intervention, like ublock.
Well, of course. NoScript blocks all JS by default other than the capabilities allowed in the “default” mode. uBlock Origin allows all JS by default, but it can be made to act like NoScript in that it too will block JS by default.
I have manually worked out which domains need to be allowed (uBlock + NoScript) and which capabilities to allow from each domain (NoScript, I do not see how one can do this in uBlock) in sites that I visit a lot (lemmy, old.reddit, youtube, piped, github etc). For the rest of the internet, my JS is turned off (surprisingly, most things work for my usage, but I just read blogs/text-based content for the most part when I’m surfing the internet). YMMV
