I've been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.

Been using "I still don't care about cookies", but native support would be legendary
Wait, I thought that just accepted everything? Because if you don't care about cookies, you'd be fine with anything, no? But "rejecting" cookie banners to me implies rejecting cookies which is different if I'm not mistaken.
That extension is just hiding the banner, same as if you blocked it with ublock cosmetic filtering
Not 100% true according to the description on that page. It just hides the banner if possible but it will automatically accept some or even all cookies and tracking if it is required for the site to function. And their choice if they accept some or all depends on "whichever is easier to do".
And functionality of the website could be social media or video embedding which might be "required for the site to function" in the eyes of the extension maintainers. But which will send data to Facebook, Google, and the likes. That could be okay depending on what your stance but a good thing to be aware of.
It accepts all or minimal depending on the website.
"In most cases, the add-on just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do)."
The name is confusing but it works very well.
It's not just the name, from the description I'd also assume that it accepts cookies or at least most of them.
