You're not wrong, but in my experience those lists cause some sites to not work anymore, the whole site will stay dark waiting for the cookie pop-up for example, or you can't scroll. I still use uBO to block ads but Consent-O-Matic gives me a better experience on those sites.
Did you try to dismiss then manually or use the filter list?
Disabling uBO, dismissing the cookie pop-up and then re-enabling uBO usually works, but is a lot more work than just running Consent-O-Matic in the background.
You didn't answer my question. Do you have to cookie list filtered in uBO or are you just using the default list?
I was using the cookie lists but I stopped using them due to the aforementioned problems.
ah ok, sorry.
