It’s better, it doesn’t accept any, it just deleted the elements that make up the UI. It’s not the government’s fault that Ars intentionally made their website unusable. They could just follow the intent of the law and not use cookies at all.
By default it’s not enabled in uBlock Origin. Go to the filter list settings and enable the appropriate Annoyances filters for Cookie Notices (or just enable all the Annoyances filters)

So you’re saying that with uBlock Origin on, I can just select accept all and I still won’t get any of their bullshit‽

Some rules I believe can delete even that popup.
