I just visited a site and selected the option to reject cookies. After doing this, the dialogue box would not go away, while a loading screen appeared. It was loading my new cookie preferences. This loading screen got stuck at 80% and hung there for almost a full minute.
It’s a specific company that creates a cookie consent manager that way, and a lot of websites use it. The progress bar is entirely faked; you’re being made to wait for nothing.

I have an extension called “ffck overlays” for situations like that. It can be hit-or-miss, but it works a decent amount of the time.
Firefox: https://github.com/mashedkeyboard/ffckoverlays
It was inspired by a similar extension made for Chrome called “F*ck Overlays”.
Chromium browsers (for those who haven’t left Chromium behind yet): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fck-overlays/ppedokobpbdajgiejhnjfbdjlgobcpkp
