Nice script. Can you make it work for countries with a second-level domain too? For example, www.google.co.za

I believe I've updated it to work with every TLD now. Can you try?

My updated version:

• uses xPath to get button by text so even if they change the HTML tag this should work
• triggers after 1 second because the popup may not be immediately in page

const run = () => {
    const xpath = '//*[contains(text(),"I Agree")]';
    const agreeBtn = document.evaluate(xpath, document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue;
    if(agreeBtn) agreeBtn.click();

    document.querySelector('div[aria-modal]')?.remove();

    const form = document.querySelector('form');

    if(form?.action?.match(/consent/)?.length === 1) {
        form.querySelector('button')?.click();
    }
}

setTimeout(run, 1000);

Do I have to reopen the browser in order to changes make effect?
I tried with both scripts of @wolph and @paoloiulita. I use Tampermonkey and I've enabled this addon to work in incognito mode (Chrome), but whatever I use, the f#cking Google s#it still redirects to consent page.
It would be great to make it work, because I often use incognito mode to reduce my activity on Google account.

Screens:

https://i.ibb.co/YTYwqxp/scr2.jpg
https://i.ibb.co/mS76L6j/scr3.jpg (sorry for Polish lang version)

But the effect is:
https://i.ibb.co/k5B7MJj/scr4.jpg

@mm1992 I've updated the script to include the changes from @paoloiulita with a few small modifications.

With regards to the issues you're experiencing, are you sure the script is running in incognito? Tampermonkey should show how many scripts were executed:

If it's enabled you only need to reload the page. Nothing else should be needed.

Does this script block the "before you continue to google" prompt? Not working for me...
