TidyTab

Auto-reject cookie popups. Then read the page.

A Chrome extension that answers GDPR consent banners the way you would, on every site you open, and strips articles down to the part you came for.

Cookie banners, handled

Finds the reject control and clicks it, then checks the banner actually closed. If the click did nothing, it steps down to the next option and keeps going until the notice is gone.

Any language

Buttons are matched by meaning, not by a list of site names, across more than 30 languages. A banner in Warsaw is handled like one in Toronto.

Reading view

Alt+R collapses the page to the article. Theme, font, size, column width and line height are yours. The original sits untouched underneath.

Nothing leaves your browser

No account, no analytics, no server, no network requests at all. Settings live in Chrome's own storage.

Where the reject button is hidden

Plenty of sites offer no reject at all, and plenty more bury it a screen deeper. TidyTab opens the "Manage settings" panel, looks for a reject in there, and failing that switches every optional toggle off and saves. Strictly necessary toggles are left alone. Accepting is the last resort, and you can switch that off entirely if you would rather the banner was just hidden.

What it will not touch

A banner matcher that works by wording can get it wrong, and getting it wrong on a sign-in form is not a cosmetic problem. Sign-in and account forms, anything you can type into, bot challenges like Cloudflare Turnstile and reCAPTCHA, and anything wrapping the main content of the page are all skipped outright, before a single button is read. A cookie banner sitting next to a login form still gets handled normally.

It does not get past paywalls. If dismissing a wall is what unlocks the content, that is access control rather than a cookie preference, and TidyTab leaves it alone on purpose.
