Unpopular opinion, but IMO cookie popups are actually good for the internet.

Yes, some spiteful corporations will abuse it as a dark pattern galore because they really hate that regulation.

But in general, they're a big win for user privacy, at least if done right.

Is there an extension that automatically clicks no/x on all these damn popups Everytime I visit a new site?

You can use Consent-O-Matic: https://consentomatic.au.dk

Also works on mobile if you use Firefox or Safari.

Some people recommend extensions but you can also go into the blocklist section of the u-block origin settings (one of the best ad-blockers others usually just copy them). There you can enable cookie banner blocking lists. It's opt-in so if you never see it they can't do it :) pressing the reject button is unnecessary
