Review Summary

Consent-O-Matic is praised for saving time by automatically managing cookie consent dialogs and improving browsing convenience, especially on popular websites using common consent platforms. However, it struggles with niche or uncommon sites, sometimes causing site malfunctions or slowdowns. Its limited support for various cookie consent managers and inconsistent performance are common concerns, but its open-source nature and helpfulness for many users make it a valuable tool for automated cookie management.

Pros

  • Saves time by automatically handling cookie consent pop-ups across multiple sites.
  • Convenient and increases quality of life by minimizing repetitive clicks on cookie dialogs.
  • Works well on popular cookie consent management platforms (CMPs) and widely used sites.
  • Open source, secure, and transparent.
  • Improves browsing experience especially on new or frequently visited websites.

Cons

  • Does not work consistently on all websites, particularly niche sites or those with custom cookie consent forms.
  • May cause issues on certain sites such as unintended redirects or site malfunction.
  • Supports only a limited list of cookie consent services; requests for expanded CMP support have been made.
  • Users have reported it failing on some country-specific sites and popular UK sites.
  • Some users experienced browser slowdown after installation.
