Can someone recommend a plugin to click through all those annoying GDPR cookie popups. In a perfecrt world, I woudl like it to automagically™ pick necessary only, but I'm sure that's asking for too much.

uBlock Origin with annoyances lists

Important thing to note is that as long as you haven't accepted the tracking cookies, they're not allowed to use them. So blocking it is essentially the same as not accepting it.

Do you use uBlock Origin? It has an option to deal with cookie pop-ups.

I do! I did not know it could do that.

Enable AdGuard - Cookie Notices and EasyList - Cookie Notices under Filter lists > Annoyances > AdGuard - Annoyances / EasyList - Annoyances in uBlock Origin

We would also accept "Reject all"

Usually necessary is on and greyed out in almost all the dialog boxes I see.

I only found out about it when the chap that made the best-known cookie banner blocker sold his extension to some scumbags. I hope it does what you need.

I use the Cookie Auto Delete extension and whitelist the ones I need to keep, say for logins. All the rest are set for a 15-second delay. Fifteen seconds after I close their tab, they are deleted. I have the delay in case I closed a tab mistakenly.

Ghostery does this.
