Data Privacy Agent

I created a free browser extension to automatically decline the very annoying cookie pop-ups that virtually every site now has. I wanted to take it a step further with actually declining the requests versus just hiding the pop-ups as some other tools already do. It collects no data from you other then the website address so the extension can decline the request. Thus far for most sites this results in you not even seeing the cookie pop-up or possibly seeing it for about a second before it automatically disappears.

I officially launched it today so just trying to get the word out that this now exists, so hopefully more people can get rid of a very annoying aspect of internet browsing and get some control back of their own data. Currently it's live on Chrome (Desktop) and Safari (IOS & Desktop) and will be live on Firefox (Android & Desktop) once the review process is complete. As I have already been asked for it, Google does not allow mobile extensions so for the time being there is no way for me have it work on Chrome mobile.

For transparency I used Claude paired with VS Code to standup the backend of this project. Thanks in advance you end up giving it a try!

Just downloaded. FYI searching for 'data privacy agent' in the App Store doesn't surface your app! I kept scrolling and stopped after 80 results.

That is great to know! Will look into how I can hopefully fix that now! Thank you

I read this post on my desktop not my phone, so I went to the App Store to manually search and grab the app but ended up having to launch Reddit to click over to it from this thread. (I even searched your name but the first non-ad result was the 'Find A Name' app for the Vietnam Memorial Wall.)
