I'm not sure whether a specific or a generic would be a better option.

/wp-content/plugins/cookie-law-info/public/js/cookie-law-info-public.js is used pretty widely: https://publicwww.com/websites/%22%2Fwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fcookie-law-info%2Fpublic%2Fjs%2Fcookie-law-info-public.js%22/

Despite it's name, the script doesn't seem to be related to Onetrust and cookielaw.org. It seems to be a wordpress script. I cannot guarantee it's safe to block this script generally though I don't have a reason to suspect it would cause a lot of issues.

There isn't a specific rule for this script on EL Cookie: https://github.com/easylist/easylist/blob/master/easylist_cookie/easylist_cookie_specific_block.txt

Edit, at least on this page blocking the same script doesn't cause video issues:

Tweets work despite blocking that script:

Edit2.

Though blocking the script on 180k sites individually might be a huge task so maybe better to try with a generic and whitelist individual domains afterwards if needed?

Does it break scrolls on pages?

Does it break scrolls on pages?

No, I checked every domain that were listed at the first page of publicwww search. No issues with scrolling at all.

Of note AGA has two exception for this. They're all hidden by ###cookie-law-info-bar and in some cases by ###cookie-law-info-again too. Usually blocking this alone doesn't remove cookie dialog but move it to bottom by breaking dialog's layout.

[ryanbr]

Found ###cookie-law-info-bar would break on some sites @Yuki2718 (scroll breaks)

[Yuki2718]

Oh, okay. In that case the rule seems to be useful - the leftover moved to bottom are still hidden by ###cookie-law-info-again.

[peace2000]

But blocking the script also prevents those broken banners from appearing?

[Yuki2718]

Yes, apparently no problem as long as ###cookie-law-info-again is there.
