Brave open sources Cookiecrumbler to make cookie consent blocking smarter

Brave has released Cookiecrumbler, a tool that automatically detects and blocks annoying cookie consent banners across the web, designed to protect privacy without causing headaches for users. The open-source platform behind this tool uses AI models to identify and block these banners effectively while minimizing risks like broken pages or disabled features. By sharing its crawls on GitHub, Brave invites the broader community to contribute to improving detection accuracy and blocking rules, fostering collaboration to make cookie notice blocking safer and more efficient overall.
