I wish other browsers would do this. I don't jive with most of the other stuff Brave incorporates. For a while I was using "I dont care about cookies" but it seems less effective as of late.

The problem with that extension is that it sometimes does accept tracking cookies, which makes it kind of pointless. I want a "No means no, goddamn it" extension, which this Brave functionality seems to supply.

“I don’t care about cookies” means you don’t care about them. Do whatever, just don’t bug me. It doesn’t mean “no cookies”

Yes, that's exactly my point! I care about rejecting cookies, which is why “I don’t care about cookies” is a useless extension to me. This Brave solution is much better.

The best way to do this without switching browser is to use ublock origin's filter lists (in the settings dashboard) and enable "Easylist Cookie" under "Annoyances".

I believe the article mentions it
