Use kagi.com. By default it indicates pay walled sites and you can also block whole domains if you choose. Listicles are broken out separately and if you’re feeling ambitious Kagi supports regex-based redirects, so you could redirect paywalled domains to a paywall bypass website.
For cookies you just need to enable one of the Cookie Notices list in uBO, and for paywalls you can add the https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/bpc-paywall-filter.txt filter list.
You can kinda do it with Google Customizabe Search Engine, which is basically a thin wrapper around Google. In a regular Google search you can use syntax like -site:ignorethisdomain.com to exclude specific domains (i do this with Pinterest whenever searching for images, for example). But manually typing in a large list of black listed domains would be tedious so instead you can set up a CSE with everybody you want to ignore and then just use the special URL as your search engine.
So it appears, though I’m unsure whether it auto-accepts required cookies, those that have no opt-out option. If it’s banners, and not walls, then UBlock blocks the banner and thereby doesn’t give permission to store any kind of cookies, including the required ones. Kinda as if you browse the site without ever interacting with the banner.
Sadly, both need to trust that the site actually follows the rules and respects the selected/unselected cookies.
EDIT: Scrap all that, most sites don’t respect cookies settings either way, might just get either of the above and Cookie Auto Delete or something similar.
when you deny ‘all cookies’ and add exceptions for the few you need to, the cookie banner keeps splashing even if the sites’ cookies won’t be accepted. Consent-o-matic gets rid of them and it refuses automatically for the sites that won’t work without “essential” cookies. (In Europe there are organizations that verify if these choices are respected)
this way you don’t need cookie auto delete
i use uBlock myself, with very rigid preferences but people find uBlock complicated 🤷 so i install this addOn with a cookie shortcut for the sites they need to accept cookies
i add a weak ublock that won’t get in their way though, for all the trackers &c
