How it works

-----------

Rather than hardcoding rules for every website, Accept Cookies uses an algorithm:

1. Searches the DOM and shadow DOMs for elements mentioning cookies.

2. Searches for accept buttons with a common ancestor to the cookie elements.

3. Calculates the distance between every accept button and cookie element pair.

4. Clicks the accept button closest to a cookie element.

Technical details

-----------------

- Uses mutation observers to efficiently react to DOM changes.

- Overrides `Element.attachShadow` to search shadow DOMs.

- Uses a service worker with `chrome.webNavigation.onCommitted.addListener` to override `.attachShadow` before inline code runs.

- Runs in all frames so cookie consent banners loaded in iFrames are detected.
