I think it's the same for whole EU. I'm forced to click even though I'm not from Germany.

I'm not in the EU and those banners are still everywhere.

And the thing is afaik in the EU websites cant save anything nonessential unless you actively opt-in. In other countries its opt-out. So blocking cookie banners while not strictly cleaning or blocking may be harmful for privacy

okay. my bad it's apparently EU wide. so then it doesn't make sense for Firefox to only do that in Germany.

Gdpr thing

Nope it’s the e privacy directive, a common mistake is to blame the GDPR for that though.
