Description
Necessary cookies only. No notification prompts, no location requests, no newsletter popups. On every site, automatically. Every website asks you the same questions. Accept cookies? Show notifications? Know your location? Join the newsletter? You answer them the same way every time, on every site, forever. Leave Me Alone answers them for you: "Leave me alone." Turn on the switches you want. From then on, every site you visit gets that answer before it asks, instead of asking you first. WHAT IT DOES On by default: • Reject cookie banners: declines non-essential cookies on 200+ consent platforms, and hides the banner when it meets one it doesn't know • Block notification prompts • Block location requests • Dismiss newsletter popups • Send Global Privacy Control, the "do not sell my data" signal • Block popups & automatic downloads Off by default, switch on if you want them: • Block camera & microphone prompts • Mute all sites • Hide chat bubbles • Block Google one-tap sign-in • Delete all cookies on quit ONE SITE GIVING YOU TROUBLE? Pause the extension on that site from the toolbar. Everything goes back to normal there and stays as you set it everywhere else. The toolbar icon tells you at a glance which mode you're in. PRIVACY This extension collects nothing, stores nothing about you, and makes no network requests of its own. Not analytics, not telemetry, not an "anonymous usage statistics" checkbox buried in the options. Your switch settings are the only thing saved, and they are saved in your own Chrome profile. The consent-platform rules are bundled inside the extension and updated only when the extension itself updates. Nothing is fetched at runtime. There is no server that could see where you browse, because there is no server. LIMITATIONS Cookie banners are an arms race. This handles the major consent platforms and falls back to hiding banners it doesn't recognize, but a site can always do something new. OPEN SOURCE MIT licensed.
