I'm a noob... But hear me out. Does anyone make a browser extension that fools the site into thinking you've accepted the cookie(s) when you really haven't?

Does cookie autodelete count?
of course not
well, if the website thinks that it is allowed to store cookies, it will. but cookies make you easy to track across sessions.
generally i've found that changing the useragent and/or vpn location will work.
Personally I find a good high caliber handgun to work most of the time also.

Another innovative way to loose readers. Btw I mean no way to utilize CNN in any type of medium is helpful. But some would disagree.
CNN fucks. :)
Weird, I don't have this. Also installing the Bypass Paywall extension might help if it comes up.
Thanks for the tip but I'm good. I'm not going to waste more energy fighting to read whatever CNN has to say if they take such issue with my "browser configuration".
Looks fine on my end. On firefox with ubo
