I was using the I don't care about cookies addon but there was talking about the development going in a shady direction so I got rid of it.

Currently I'm using the ublock origin annoyance filters which works only half of the time.

Which filter list would you recommend?

Is there a better way to handle this or is ublock origin still the way to go (for cookies, ad blocking is great).

I'm not sure why but somehow AdGuard with the very same Annoyances list produces better results for me with cookie banners but AdGuard has other problems such as promoting its own services in the menu from time to time.

A good way to get rid of a large chunk of cookie banners is blocking cdn.cookielaw.org and cdn.privacy-mgmt.com in the hosts file. Lots of websites use either of the two services.
