Auto-Reject Cookie Banners On by Default

Performance v1.4.4

Cookie banner auto-rejection was bundled inside the Smart Page Cleanup toggle, which ships off by default — so on a fresh install the advertised auto-reject never actually ran unless you turned Smart Page Cleanup on. It's now its own feature, Auto-Reject Cookie Banners, on by default. Cosmetic element hiding stays a separate opt-in. A second fix stops a SecurityError on sandboxed iframes that could quietly kill cookie auto-rejection on certain pages. No new permissions.

  • Cookie banner auto-rejection is now its own feature, on by default — it previously lived inside the default-off Smart Page Cleanup toggle, so the advertised auto-reject didn't run out of the box
  • Cosmetic element hiding stays a separate, opt-in part of Smart Page Cleanup
  • Auto-reject keeps running on sites whitelisted for ads only — only a full bypass turns it off
  • Fixed a SecurityError on sandboxed iframes that could silently stop cookie auto-rejection on some pages

Cookie banner auto-rejection was bundled inside Smart Page Cleanup, which is off by default. So on a fresh install the auto-reject the listing advertised didn’t actually run unless you went and turned Smart Page Cleanup on.

It’s now its own feature — Auto-Reject Cookie Banners — and it’s on by default. The cosmetic element hiding that was the other half of Smart Page Cleanup stays separate and opt-in. Auto-reject keeps running even on sites you’ve whitelisted for ads only; only a full bypass for a site turns it off.

Sandboxed-Frame Fix

On some pages a sandboxed iframe — for example certain Shopify ad frames — made a content script throw a SecurityError while reading session storage, which could silently stop cookie auto-rejection on that page. Those reads are now guarded, so sandboxed frames bail quietly instead of breaking the feature. Normal pages are unaffected.

No new permissions were added in this release.
