While it does remove cookies, it also removes cookies from websites like HBO, disney+ and such which stops you from completely accessing the sites. It would be nice if there was some kind of whitelist.

Don't get me wrong: I do like the general idea of this extension. I mean, with Gorhills uB, uM as default and Cookie Delete as top up, my use case is obvious. Using this extension for a while though, did not leave me convinced. The (settings) interface doesn't give me the idea I can see what it does, nor that I can "control" it. I admit this might be my personal quirk, being a relic from before mindless, overrated "user convenience" days. However, I also recognise what another user wrote here: of course there are always false positives and negatives with "guestimation" and "assumption". But I too have been trying to do things, and failed., in the end turning out it being this extension that blocked it. And due to its earlier mentioned "extreme convenience" it is not clear, nor gives an indication what/ that it is the problem.
Bottom line: great idea, great concept, needs a bit of tinkering probably.

Unfortunately, after one week, this extension has removed so many essentials cookies that I will probably stop using it soon.

I have enabled the option to allow functional cookies but so many websites, at work or at home stopped working, driving me crazy before I realized this extension was the reason. Since, then, I spend my time setting exceptions. This is not my definition of "automatic".

I will give it a last chance by playing with the bias for necessary cooking slider.
