There are addons (for firefox at least) where the cookie banner will come up but your browser auotmatically refuses all cookies.

Yes, but it often doesn't work and even when it does the site is unusable while it works, which for some particularly awful banners is several minutes. The situation is worse on mobile where most people have a browser that you can't install add-ons to (and I'm not sure if that one works in firefox mobile anyway)
