I believe the filter just hides the cookie banner (which I believe on many sites means you accept all), where consent-o-matic actually accepts & rejects according to your preferences.
Regarding why an update, as there are many sites that it doesn’t automatically accept/decline, and having an update will have it done automatically rather having to manually set.
