How to block the annoying “Before you continue” popup on Google?

Solution 1:

Add the following JavaScript to your browser through an extension (like Tampermonkey for Chrome, or Firefox):

// ==UserScript==
// @name         avoid Google's "before you continue"
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.2
// @description  How to block the annoying “Before you continue” popup on Google?
// @author       jonas
// @url          https://stackoverflow.com/a/63999294/1153476
// @match        https://www.google.com/*
// @grant        none
// @run-at       document-start
// ==/UserScript==

// This will remove the popup but there are some problems:
// Buttons and menus like 'More', 'Tools', and many others will not work
const style = document.createElement('style');
style.innerHTML = /* css */ `
  div[aria-modal] {
    display: none !important;
  }
`;
document.head.append(style);

// This solves the previous problems but it's probably not that great for privacy
const consentMatch = document.cookie.match(/CONSENT=(PENDING|YES)\+(\d+)/);
document.cookie=`CONSENT=YES+${consentMatch ? consentMatch[2] : '0'}; domain=.google.com`;

In Tampermonkey, on script Settings page, set Run at to document-start.

Solution 2:

Just block all of the cookies for the page where you see this popup and voilà.
