Version 48 of Opera Browser for Android automatically blocks cookie dialog boxes. The update also includes new startup options and small UI fixes. The update is rolling out now.
These dialog boxes might be inconvenient, but Opera just updated its Android app where you immediately get them filtered and removed with a simple toggle in Settings.
More specifically, the dialog box appears when an Android 13 app seeks the “POST_NOTIFICATIONS” runtime permission. Android 13 is also bringing a QR code scanner to the lock screen ...
Now, in Android 12, Google is making that process a bit smoother by adding “verified links” that open directly in their designated apps instead of showing a chooser dialog.
Opera’s Android app today launched a feature that’ll block cookie dialog boxes from popping up. The company tested the feature on 15,000 websites and is hoping to test more.
