I use EasyList Annoyances with my adblocker, it hides all cookies/GDPR popups. If the website respects GDPR and waits for my click on the "Accept" button, I'll never see it and tracking shouldn't be enabled (many websites still don't respect that basic concept nonetheless)

Are you referring to "Fanboy's Annoyance List" here: https://easylist.to/ ?

I really want to get rid of all the cookies/GDPR popups.

I just checked, and apparently on mobile I use 'AdGuard Annoyances filter' and not 'Fanboy's Annoyance List' like on desktop. The former is a fork of the latter by Adguard, so I think it's about the same thing. EasyList's one works perfectly on desktop.
