    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
